Canterbury Tales - Chaunticleer In the book Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer, tells us an extraordinary story about a rooster called Chaunticleer. Chaunticleer, who is the king of his domain in his agricultural kingdom. Like a king, he quotes passages from intellectuals, dreams vivid dreams, has a libido that runs like a bat out of hell and is described as a very elegant looking Rooster. He has all the characteristics of a person belonging to the upper class. Chaucer's hidden meanings and ideas make us think that the story is about roosters and farm animals, but in reality he is making the aristocracy of his period the object of his mockery by making the reader understand how the aristocracy can being in the dark about how things are. I'm in the real world. Chaucer describes Chaunticleer in many different ways. One of them is its language. Chaunticleer's language is that of a scholar. He quotes many different scriptures in a conversation with Pertelote, such as St. Kenelmus, Daniel and Joseph (from the Bible), and Croesus. Each author tells the story of an individual who had a vision in a dream and the dream came true. He may have made up all the stories to win the argument with Pertelote, but this seems unlikely because he disregards his own advice and stays away from the fox who meets him later. He is educated enough to know these supposed quotes but not intelligent enough to understand their true meaning. It is if he brings them simply because they help him win the argument with his spouse and not because he really believes what they say. Chaucer uses the idea that the aristocracy attends school throughout childhood, but does so only to have seemingly important but empty conversations. Even his physical appearance is described with such beautiful passion that it makes us think that Chaunticleer is heaven on earth. "His crest was redder than fine coral and crenellated like castle walls; his beak was black and shone like jet; his legs and toes were like blue; his nails whiter than lily; and its color like burnished gold." Chaucer describes Chaunticleer as the quintessential rooster, so perfect that his description is no longer believable when we realize that he is describing a rooster. Chaucer is preparing Chaunticleer to be regal and grand like a king.
