Reading The Nun's Priest's Tale | Alexandria
Read The Nun's Priest's Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer. Reimagining barnyard politics through a pompous rooster named Chauntecleer who dreams of his own murder, Chaucer's satirical masterpiece reveals how pride and flattery lead to downfall. This medieval beast fable cleverly skewers human vanity while suggesting that even our most prophetic fears can become self-fulfilling - a paradox that resonates in today's culture of anxiety.
