A propos de cet article

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Didactics - English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,3, University of Cologne (Englisches Seminar), course: Hauptseminar 'English Literature from Chaucer to Shakespeare', language: English, abstract: This paper will scrutinize the 'Miller's Tale' and the 'Reeve's Tale' with regard to their erotic contents and the instances of obscene speech. The main emphasis will be put on a discussion on the genre of the tales as well as the question, whether instances of eroticism are really the light-hearted expression of joyful lust, or rather skillful narrative means serving both the authentic representation of the characters and the emphasizing of the tales' overall morals.There is hardly any period in history that has preoccupied people of later eras as much as the Middle Ages. They have been a recurring popular subject in literature over the last two hundred years. The film industry could not go without them. One reason for this fascination might be the fact that the Middle Ages are both a part of our own history, still visible in magnificent church buildings, and an era that lies half a millennium away from us. This distance and a rather limited knowledge about the 'real' circumstances contribute to a hazy image leaving plenty of space for interpretation and imagination.A popular view on the Middle Ages from our perspective is that of jaunty folk, who enjoyed their lives being free of the restraints of our modern society. It is therefore not surprising that the Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini chose the 'Canterbury Tales' for one of the films in his Trilogy of Life the other two being Bocaccio's 'The Decameron and Arabian Nights'. Pasolini made his films in a time which today is referred to as the 'Sexual Revolution'. Perhaps it was the undisguised depiction of sexuality in some of the 'Canterbury Tales' which had inspired him to adapt them for the screen.One of the 'Canterbury Tales' we find in Pasolini's film is the 'Miller's Tale'. It is the second story being told, after the 'Knight's Tale', and it forms a unit, or a diptych, together with the Reeve's Tale, which follows. One does not have to approve of Pasolini's intentions in order to acknowledge the erotic elements in both of these tales. Having a closer look at the instances of eroticism in the tales leads to the question of the author's motivation to employ them. Are the 'Miller's' and the 'Reeve's Tale' erotic stories written with the intention to arouse sexual feelings, or were they rather meant to challenge and provoke the contemporary authorities Was it common literary practice in Chaucer's time to use erotic or obscene speech, or did he break new ground in literature.…
