Recommended: Nurture has a stronger effect on behavior than nature

If I ever had to do it all over again, I would never have chosen this life. But, I am not sure I ever had a choice. This was what I was thinking when running through the market with a block of salt tucked under my torn shirt. I have never attempted salt thievery before, and I already regretted it. It is very simple to steal, but to steal and get caught is another thing. If my brains weren’t blown apart with the merchants rifle, and literally end any future thought, I would remember to bring some of my orphanage buddies. The Merchant was only a few steps behind, which was quite ironic considering he was not aware of my thievery until a puny, butter faced noble’s child informed him of my actions. I was about to zoom into a dark alley (where I could hide), until a bald man outside an italian Pizza Joint stretched his foot out in time to trip me. …show more content…

The Merchant leaned over me, and began cursing repeatedly in a native language, the Merchant also took the liberty of beating me. I tried curling up into a ball, only to continue getting beat. When the voice of a man shouted “STOP”, the merchant turned around and was greeted with a sack, after looking through, the Merchant closed the bag and began bowing to the feet of that man, he began to leave only to come back and kick me, muttering, “If you ever come back, I’ll feed you to the vultures” The man who rescued me looked somewhere to be in his forties and dressed in the fine clothes of the upper class, his tiny mouth broke into a smile as he picked me up from the shirt, and said my name is “Jonathan Howard”, “what is yours boy”. I wouldn’t answer and no way was I going to tell this upstart wealthy man who I was. Oh, I forgot to mention my name, Sage as you will probably hear later on. Anyway, I got hit by that fat, useless caretaker at my Orphanage who happened to see me as I was being beaten doing her

  • The Wanton Cynic in The Merchant's Tale

    2093 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Merchant's Prologue and Tale presents the darkest side of Chaucer's discussion on marriage. Playing off both the satire of the moral philosopher, the Clerk, and the marital stage set by the Wyf of Bathe, the Merchant comes forth with his angry disgust about his own marital fate. Disillusioned and depraved, the Merchant crafts a tale with a main character who parallels his own prevarication and blind reductionism while he simultaneously tries to validate his own wanton life by selling his belief to the other pilgrims. As both pervert reality through pecuniary evaluations on different levels, however, both are exposed to be blind fools, subject to the very forces that they exert on others. As this reversal happens and the Merchant satirizes Januarie blindness, Chaucer reveals the Merchant's blindness, giving him the very significance that he had spent his whole tale trying to deny.

  • Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison

    The narrator’s father, who was freed from slavery after the civil war, leads a quiet life. On his deathbed, the narrator’s bitter grandfather advises the narrator’s father to undermine white people and “agree’em to death and destruction” (Ellison 21). The old man deemed meekness to be treachery. Despite the old man’s warnings, the narrator believes that genuine obedience can win him respect and praise. However, this is not entirely right because while the whites reward him with a calfskin briefcase, he is made to engage in a humiliating battle royal and the rush for imitated gold coin in an electrocuted rug.

  • Vision, Truth, and Genre in the Merchant's Tale

    1443 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the Book of Genesis, Adam and Eve eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, which gives them greater powers of perception but also causes their expulsion from Paradise. The story creates a link between clear vision and the ability to perceive the truth‹which, in this case, causes mankind to fall from a state of blissful ignorance to one of miserable knowledge. In the Merchant's Tale, vision and truth do not enjoy such an easy relationship. Vision is obstructed at both the metaphorical and the literal level, and the subversion of the fabliau genre challenges the idea of truthful representation. The Merchant's Tale destabilizes the notion of representation itself, problematizing man's relation to truth.

  • Essay on Variety in The Merchant's Tale

    1150 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Merchant's Tale tells the story of an old man searching for a wife and finding one, who is ultimately unfaithful to him. Chaucer uses a variety of elements in the poem to show his knowledge of contemporary interests and his story telling capacity through another figure. Irony flows through the poem, laced with allusions to the Bible. Chaucer's use of his astronomical knowledge not only allows modern day scholars to date events, but also adds another dimension of interest for the contemporary audience and of course, the pilgrims.

    In a perfect world, hatred would be without justice; love would be totally innocent. However, utopias like that are nonexistent; thus, one can easily look around, like Auden, and exclaim, "No hatred is totally without justification, no love is totally innocent." In The Merchant of Venice, there is an imperfect world, as well as a perfect world. The flawed world is the materialistic and bustling city of Venice. The impeccable world is the fairy-tale city of Belmont. Despite Belmont's perfection, a bit of justified hatred from Venice would ruin its innocence. (Paradise lost.) Alas, as Auden suggests, there are no utopias.

  • The Complex Character of the Merchant in The Canterbury Tales

    1396 Words  | 3 Pages

    Sometimes a character is not fully revealed right away in order to surprise and convey a specific purpose later on. Chaucer demonstrates this idea in The Canterbury Tales, specifically with the Merchant character. In the General Prologue, Chaucer portrays the Merchant as a respectable character; however, he hints aspects of the Merchants personality that question this respectable image. The Merchant’s entire personality is later revealed in his Prologue and Tale, as it is made evident of his cynical and pessimistic outlook, making him less respectful.

    "The Merchant's Prologue and Tale" is mainly concerned with the infidelity of May while she is married to Januarie. Infidelity is undoubtedly a popular topic for discussion in modern times and is often the subject of magazine or television stories. Despite the concern with marriage and the status of men and women within such a relationship keeping the story applicable to the audience even more than 600 years later, there are many elements of the Prologue and Tale which root them in a mediaeval context. The reasons to marry and the opinions cited show the attitudes of the mediaeval period as do the references to mythological figures such as "Ymeneus, that god of wedding is".

  • Theme Of The Merchant In The Canterbury Tales

    1393 Words  | 3 Pages

    Many scholars and intellectual thinkers alike, from every corner of the world, have thoroughly studied the renowned work of Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. The examination and analysis of the relationship between the character’s descriptions in the general prologue and the themes and elements of their tales, is among the most fascinating of all open discussions about the distinguished text. Particular tales told in Chaucer’s work are presented as direct reflections of the depictions of the characters telling them, and other verbal stories can be argued to go completely against their teller’s characterization. One of the pilgrims, the Merchant, is a prime example of a character directly reflecting his or her own characteristics and

    Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice The Merchant of Venice is a play that, like many of Shakespeare's plays show characters at the edges of society. In The Merchant of Venice we see Shylock and Portia showing this by either being the minority or the least respected or in Shylock's case both. What adds to their role at the edge of society is the way they subvert their roles because this focuses, in the case of Portia, the audience on her and, in shylocks case, the other characters on him.
