Pertelote my worldes blis Madame Pertelote my world's bliss Their life seems full of joy and song They wake together at dawn sing happily and share the peace of their simple world Their love makes the poor yard feel like a palace The Dream Disagreement One morning Chauntecleer wakes up in great fear after seeing a bad dream about a beast attacking him Pertelote laughs at him and becomes angry that he feels afraid She calls him I kan nat love a coward I can not love a coward She thinks dreams come from food or health problems not from any real meaning Chauntecleer however believes that dreams can warn of danger This becomes their first serious disagreement as husband and wife Pertelote shows a strong and logical mind while Chauntecleer shows emotion and wisdom Their quarrel looks very natural like real married life Here love and argument often stay together Chaucer shows through this scene that even in anger their care and bond remain strong The Argument Pertelote tells her husband to take medicine and eat herbs to remove his fear She says Taak som laxatyf Take some laxative But Chauntecleer proud and learned answers with stories and examples He tells about two pilgrims Saint Kenelm and King Croesus to prove that dreams can warn of danger He says A dreem ful soore is for to drede A dream is very greatly to be feared This debate shows how both love and ego live in marriage Pertelote speaks with care but Chauntecleer wants to prove his wisdom Chaucer paints their talk as both comic and real A wife giving health advice and a husband arguing with logic Disobedience and Danger In the end Chauntecleer ignores his own dream He follows his wife s advice He goes out proudly to the yard in the sunshine There he meets the sly fox Daun Russell Daun Russell flatters him and seizes him by the throat This event shows that listening to a wife without thought can bring danger Love can make one careless Chaucer gently mocks both pride and blind obedience A Symbol of Human Marriage After the fox catches him Chauntecleer escapes by using his wit He tells the fox to speak and the fox opens his mouth to reply The cock flies up to a tree This final scene shows that wisdom comes after pain Chauntecleer and Pertelote s marriage becomes a symbol of human relationships It is full of love argument pride and forgiveness Their bond remains strong even after mistakes Chaucer uses them to mirror real husband-wife life where affection and folly go hand in hand Chauntecleer and Pertelote are not just birds they are like a real husband and wife They love argue correct and complete each other Their story in the widow s yard beside the grove shows Chaucer s deep understanding of married life Through them Chaucer turns a simple fable into a mirror of human marriage
