Number one is worded in such a way where you could write and submit a poem in Old English about a lost past or ghosts

Number three is such a typical modern education question. They always try to project their own debauchery onto the past by inserting sex, homosexuality, etc. into history even when it makes no sense. I swear I've had to do assignments like that since elementary school.

I do not care about engl*sh literature. When I read an english book, I will read it's translation in turkish or japanese, even though I know the original language. Because I do not respect engl*sh people. Do something about it.

1.in the ballad knight's ghost the night appears to his love and explains his circumstance and assuages her feeling that he had left her for another. This parallels the ghost of Hamlet's father in being the bearer of information to the main character instead of being a ill potent or spook like in modern English literature.
2.it is possible that there could be more hidden in the back of monastic repositories or municipal archives however most would have likely been lost during demonastication
3. There was the use of double entendre like the millmaid in the knight's tale informing the protagonist that she had 'his bun in her oven' when he sought repayment from her father stealing his flour. There was also very dubious consent In the tales as with the aforementioned tale the protagonist beds the maid without any sort of request or given
4. Idk gang, skip
5.idk gang,skip
6.skip
7skip
8. I would say no as there is always the potential however in Shakespeare's works the viewer will tend to see where the tragedy comes into as it is often a chekov's gun which makes it more apparent, such is the folly of theatre I suppose
9.they reflected the anxiety and suffering that were rife in the time as civil conflict and sectarian strife plauged the Kingdom. It also further aligns with the general crisis that was suffered throughout the 17th century in Europe.
10.nigga I ain't good at diving, next
11.there is apparent influence of proto-elightenment thought as in the works there is a more secular and natural motifs as deist views of the natural world became more common around the learned
12.skippy
13. Restorationist literature was infamous for its irreverance as the metaphorical pendulum swung back from the days of puritan control in the lord-protectorate and led to a more radical bawdy form of writing as a manner of societal catharsis.
14.the pastoral began to be fazed out by land reform as the firmly held tradition of communal subsistence based agriculture was ended with the yeomanry ans gentry parceling the common land and made the peasantry tenant labourers, much to the chagrin of the lower classes.
15.someone should have gave that willy Nelly a firm horsewhipping for whatever foolish idea came into her head SKIP
16.i would say that it is hard to tell 400 years removed but to an extent I would say yes as satire exaggerates a topic to the extreme to point it out to the society it is made for. An example would be when aristophrenes writes about Croton he doesn't just potray him as a smooth talking demagogue doing what he needs to to attain more power. He depicts him tying his genitals to the back of a horse cart in the hopes of winning and old aristocrats favour.

17. They often wrote of it either and a satirical manner or in a manner of tragedy. Of course the best example of this is the three pence opera.
18.idk does that hoe know how we do it in O block?
19.the lack of technology to discern hoaxes and the revivalist fever that was spreading through academia and the aristocracy leading to a massive demand for old works, which of course there is a finite amount of.
20.no, skip
21.there is alot of overlap between the two, for example it's 4 in the morning and I'm doing this faggot's lit paper for him
22.the motifs and principles had shone through as English writers sought to mimic the works of the italian masters to appeal to the new fascination
23.idk she was probably a whore
24.I've only read T.E.Lawrence sorry babe.
25. 26. 27. I stopped caring about literature after 1918, the only decadent writer I know is Felicien Rops and that Flem was one weird fucker.
