4. Why does this tale lack “punch" in the Nuns Priest's tale

Sagot :

The lack of "punch" in Nuns Priest's tale is due to the predictability of the tale.

Nuns Priest's tale is present in the book "The Canterbury Tales." As we read this story, we can see that:

  • The tale is highly predictable, which promotes the lack of "punch," the lack of surprise and movement in the story.
  • The story shows a rooster that is almost devoured for trusting a flirtatious fox.
  • The reader knows that the fox is lying, enticing the rooster to be devoured, so when the rooster is captured, the reader is not surprised.
  • However, when the rooster begins to flatter the fox, the reader can predict that he will manage to escape.
  • The rooster escapes the fox, showing that the tale is highly predictable.

In this case, we can say that Nuns Priest's tale presents a flat narrative, incapable of surprising the reader, showing a completely predictable moral.
