If you're stuck with how to answer the butcher boy, I have a handout from a few years back my teacher gave me that's really useful for breaking the essay down, if that helps?

Morality tale, sin or death for pardoners tale

death would be horrendous, I have little to talk about if that comes up because all you can talk about is the riotoures so I'd be lost for talking about the rest of the tale! I think preaching could also be a possibility!

Rape of the lock - beau monde, sylphs or battle of the sexes possibly (just based on what hasn't come up recently) perhaps context on satire or mock epic.

Also would anyone have any resources e.g. Essays/notes they could send me on any of the topics?

I think the effect of social attitudes on men could be a possibility like comparing torvald and Jimmy and I think women is also a possibility

My teacher suggested cruelty of the gods/justice for lear/thebes?? Maybe tragic hero between lear and creon? For Pardoner it's probably either going to be corruption of the church, sin or death...

Sorry but what could you write about it being a morality play if theirs already been a parable question? Do we need to know the definition of morality play?

Would the pardoner question be sin and death or just death because sin is usually in the question?? What would you write about death?? Or a morality play what extract would we even get for that! So stressed omg needa chill

For death you could write about how the riotoures are on a blasphemous quest to kill death and how between a quarter and a third of the population were killed during the black plague. With sin you could write about how the pardoner is ironically preaching against sin even though he is sinning himself and could include the seven deadly sins and people lived in deep fear of sin. For morality tales i think you'd talk about the tale proper and how the pardoner uses simple language to make the story accessible to an audience, how death is personified and how he includes a moral message??
