Today, we will be discussing your comparison paragraphs between Sir Gawain and Le Morte D' Arthur. Then we will be looking at The Book of Margery Kempe.
Questions to answer on your blog:
1) What kind of person does Kempe present herself to be, and for what purpose? Support your answer with details from the text.
2) What conclusions can you draw about each of the following:
a) Kempe's religious beliefs
b) Kempe's illness
c) English society in Kempe's time
3) Kempe undergoes a transformation during her illness. What does this transformation symbolize?
4) Some critics feel that Kempe was mentally unstable and should not be taken at seriously. Others see her as a strong-minded woman who insisted on the validity of her own spiritual life. Do you agree with either of these opinions, or do you see Kempe differently? Why?
So, we need to have a vocabulary quiz on Friday and move past the words below:
Guerdon
Aghast
Recreant
Roister
Tryst
Largesse
Covetous
Beldame
Doughty
Panoply
Behest
Respite
