Reminder of the writing assignment at the end of the Tales: students should focus in depth on one of three areas from the DEJ notes, to use in an in-class essay on:

• Elements of Medieval Romance forms--ironic and not ironic
• Corrupt clergy and/or versions of Christianity vs. sincere practices of Christianity
• Chaucer and negative depictions of women (or are they?)
