English Lit

Today, we worked on satire in the "Prologue to the Canterbury Tales".  Tonight students have been given aspects of the pilgrims to note down, namely clothes, food, colours, horses, physical appearances, and the four humours.

Here's a recap of the humours:


The introverted humours are melancholic and phlegmatic.
Melancholic: moody, anxious, rigid, sober, pessimistic, quiet, unsociable, and/or reserved
Phlegmatic:  passive, careful, thoughtful, peaceful, controlled, reliable, even-tempered, and/or calm

The extroverted humours are choleric and sanguine.
Choleric: touchy, restless, aggressive, excitable, changeable, and/or impulsive
Sanguine: sociable, outgoing, talkative, responsive, easygoing, charismatic, lively, carefree
