We addressed the contrasting literary "theories" of the poet's narrator and the narrator of "The Priest's Tale" in terms of realism and the didactic. I then introduced the term "parody", and we explored why "The Priest's Tale" ,a fable, is a parody of pedantic scholars, and vanity. Last, I discussed why Chaucer remains widely read by focusing on the narrative framework of "The Priest's Tale" which incorporates a story within a story within a story , or multiple narrators and points of view. I noted how this stylistically is akin to modern literature which adopts shifting points of view as a technique and makes this 1000 year old poem feel less obsolete.
