apoplexy-stroke, mental disorder
The widow was sane even though she had no material comforts.
Chanticleer is equated to a great king or a perfect gentle knight, but his major flaw is believing the fox.
debonnaire-carefree
affright-to frighten
Pertelote cannot love anyone other than a prefect gentle knight, so she tells Chanticleer that and gives him a sermon meant to make him submit to her will, much like the old woman does to the knight in the Wife of Bath's Tale.
ague-fever
Chanticleer insists that dreams can foretell the future and does not submit to Pertelote's will like the knight submits to the old woman.
harbourage-shelter
All of the dreams in this tale are literal and exact foretellings of the future, but most dreams are not like that if they are like that at all.
All of the dreams Chanticleer tells about and his own dream come true, except Chanticleer has the intelligence to change his fate.
Pertelote believes laxatives will fix his fright of dreams, but he does not believe her.
Chanticleer fears Pertelote's death, although it is not imminent.
The question becomes will Chanticleer die? And what do you believe about dreams after being presented with both sides of the issue?
austere-self-disciplined
fain-gladly
benefice-income, prestigious position
Chanticleer accepts the fox's challenge for him to surpass his father's abilities. Does this show that Chanticleer has hubris?
staves-plural of staff
beshrew-curse
Is this tale Chaucer speaking about believing cunning people?
