Cjantaclàr e Partelote by Geoffrey Chaucer
"Cjantaclàr e Partelote" by Geoffrey Chaucer is a narrative poem composed in the 1390s. This beast fable and mock epic tells the story of Chauntecleer, a proud rooster who dreams of his doom at the jaws of a fox. When his wife Pertelote dismisses the dream as indigestion, Chauntecleer ignores the warning—with dangerous consequences. A tale of vanity, flattery, and cunning unfolds as predator and prey engage in a battle of wits,
each learning hard lessons about pride. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
