Three Poems by Geoffrey Chaucer: "Fortune," "Truth," and "Gentilesse"

Please read these three poems carefully. You can find them online here: "Fortune," "Truth," and "Gentilesse."

All of these editions of the poems have the vocabulary you will need attached to them.


Written Assignment: Please write 300 words or a bit more giving an interpretation of two of these poems. Group One: "Fortune" and "Truth"; Group Two: "Truth" and "Gentilesse"; Groups Three and Four: "Fortune" and "Gentilesse."

(We are all responsible for all of them for the final exam. But just write about the two assigned to your group.)

We will discuss each of these beautiful poems on our last "work day" of this class.
