Her greatest oath was but By Saint Eloy!
And she was known as Madam Eglantine…
And fair she spoke her French, and fluently,
After the school of Stratford-at-the-Bow,
For French of Paris was not hers to know.

In Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, the excerpt highlighting the contradiction regarding the prioress’s ability to speak fluent French states: "For French of Paris was not hers to know."

Chaucer critiques various social classes and professions in the General Prologue, starting with the upper tier down to the lower. He first introduces the Prioress, a nun, prompting the reader to question the commitment of higher clergy to a simple life. Consequently, Chaucer points out the hypocrisy within the church, as its members often came from affluent backgrounds. The prioress exploited the impoverished for her benefit, presenting herself as refined and fashionable. Known as "Madame Eglantyne," she was so ostentatious that her command of French was minimal.

Response:

George Orwell crafted an allegorical narrative regarding the Russian Revolution, utilizing the character Old Major to delve into Karl Marx's philosophies. Old Major articulates several of Marx’s concepts, including a commitment to equality and the dismantling of class hierarchies. Both Old Major and Marx endorse an uprising against the oppression of laborers. Marx asserts that production should be communally owned, a notion echoed by Old Major’s belief that animals could collectively manage the farm. The primary distinction is that Marx addresses human societies, whereas Old Major focuses on the welfare of animals. Both advocate for a fairer society.
