For this assignment, please choose 12–15 lines from the Knight’s tale.Once you’ve chosen your passage, I’d like you to type it up or copy it out by hand and mark it up. You’re looking for all the formal features you can notice: significant rhymes; alliteration and assonance; similes and metaphors; images and patterns of imagery; rhetorical figures like apostrophe, rhetorical questions, hyperbole, etc.; end-stopping and/or enjambment; and so on. Obviously not all of these features will appear or be striking in a given passage, but I want you to think hard about every line’s language and its relation to the whole passage, both formally and thematically. The marking-up can take whatever form you feel comfortable with; the idea is to give a sense of your thought process as you work through the lines.As you’re looking at the words of the passage, choose two or three that you think would be interesting to look up in the Middle English Dictionary (MED) (http://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/med/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.). Using “Headword and Forms” on the “Lookups” menu will make your life easier; you can also use asterisks to substitute for part or all of a word (including the end), which may help you find what you need. As you go through the various definitions for the words you’ve chosen, think about how the meanings given—both the one(s) that seem best for this context and those that might contribute to a field of connotations—can deepen your understanding of the passage. (Be careful about connotations: the most persuasive cases here are ones where the passage or larger context gives some reason to think that Chaucer might have had this broader meaning in mind, as well as his primary one.) Choose one word and make use of the MED entry as you discuss the passage (see below).Once you’ve gathered everything you can about the passage and chosen your key word, pick three or four aspects of the passage that you consider significant and write 800 words (about 3 pages) on those aspects. While you can certainly acknowledge the larger context of the tale, the main emphasis should remain on this passage and what it, specifically, is doing through its language. The points you discuss do not need to, and indeed usually will not, add up to an argument; it is fine to present one and move on to another without worrying too much about transitions, though of course if you see a graceful way to make a connection it’s good practice. Ideally the MED material will connect with a pattern or formal feature that you’re discussing already; think about how to weave it in with your other material.Photograph or scan your marked-up passage (which is not part of the word count) and submit it/
