I wouldn't mind reading Geoffrey Chaucer " The Wife of Bath" again. I found this tale very interesting, The different tales is what made it. I also loved how Chaucer displayed a male perspective of feminism.

The Best blogger goes to Ashley, she's always on it. All of her blogs were so very easy for me to follow. I found it very easy because she went into details with all of her work. It wasn't hard for me to choose because I only focus on three other's post from this class. For instance, in Ashley's post 26 because this is the same quote I used in the past.

Is Hamlet a tragic hero? In many senses, Hamlet is the quintessential tragic hero. Not only does he begin with the noblest motivations (to punish his father’s murderer) but by the end, his situation is do dire that the only plausible final act should be his death.
