Allegory – an extended metaphor in which a person, abstract idea, or event stands for itself and for something else  It usually involves moral or spiritual concepts which are more significant than the actual story.  Examples  Milton’s Paradise Lost  George Orwell’s Animal Farm Parody – a humorous or satirical imitation of a person, event, or serious work of literature designed to ridicule in nonsensical fashion or to criticize by clever duplication The Nun’s Priest Prologue and Tale

With the treatment and role of women being an important theme throughout The Canterbury Tales, explain why it’s appropriate that Chaucer would tell this tale. Explain how the Nun’s Priest’s Tale fits the requirements for a beast fable.
