THE SUMMONER
CANTERBURY TALES
2.
Indirect Characterization
3.
INDIRECT CHARACTERIZATION
"And, as you know, a man can teach a jay
To call out "Walter" better than the Pope."
Lines 660-661
4.
INDIRECT CHARACTERIZATION
The summoner would only speak Latin when he
was drunk, but never had any idea what he was
saying. He would try to make himself appear much
smarter than he actually was.
5.
INDIRECT CHARACTERIZATION
"Why, he'd allow--just for a quart of wine--
Any good lad to keep a concubine
A twelvemonth and dispense him altogether!"
Lines 667-669
6.
INDIRECT CHARACTERIZATION
The summoner was easily bribed.
Just by giving him a small bit of wine,
He would do you a favor, even if it was illegal.
7.
INDIRECT CHARACTERIZATION
"Outside an ale-house, and he had a cake,
A round one, which it was his joke to wield,
As if it were intended for a shield."
Lines 686-688
8.
INDIRECT CHARACTERIZATION
The comparison of the cake to a shield shows
that the summoner believes his deeds to be knightly--
he thinks he is doing good to the people he breaks
the law for and that it is his own form of heroism.
9.
Direct Characterization
10.
DIRECT CHARACTERIZATION
"His face on fire, like a cherubin,
For he had carbuncles. His eyes were narrow,
He was as hot and lecherous as a sparrow.
Black scabby brows he had, and a thin beard.
Children were afraid when he appeared" Lines 642-646
11.
DIRECT CHARACTERIZATION
The summoner was incredibly unattractive.
He had blatant blemishes on his face that
made him appear very unsightly and frightening.
12.
DIRECT CHARACTERIZATION
"No quicksilver, lead ointment, tartar creams,
No brimstone, no boracic, so it seems,
Could make a salve that had the bower to bite,
Clean up or cure his whelks of knobby white
Or purge the pimples sitting on his cheeks." Lines 647-651
13.
DIRECT CHARACTERIZATION
His ailments were incurable, and his blemishes
could not be removed. Many ointments were tried,
but they all failed.
14.
DIRECT CHARACTERIZATION
"And drinking strong red wine till all was hazy,
Then he would shout and jabber as if crazy,"
Lines 653-654
15.
DIRECT CHARACTERIZATION
He was an avid drinker. Alcohol was
his passion, and it would make him shout
and go absolutely crazy.
