What are the elements that help to make a story important and meaningful? This depends on the point of view of the readers since every person has disparate ideas. Nonetheless, in order to stand out from other numerous stories, there must be something special in Winter Dreams so that it is distinguished. In my opinion, the description of the characters could be one of the reasons. It was not prevalent amongst the old stories to describe the characters’ inner personalities, which reveals the darker side of human being. The depiction of how human being can be so shallow, snobbish, and ostentatious might be mind-blowing to the people from back then. Such devious and manipulating actions could be said that they do appear in society, however, it

  • The Virtue of Men and Women in The Canterbury Tales

    People never change. In every town you will always be able to find the "rich guy," the "smart guy," the "thief," and the "chief." It has been that way since the first man was swindled out of his lunch. Throughout his life, Geoffrey Chaucer encountered every kind of person and brought them to life for us in "The Canterbury Tales," a collection of short stories written in the 1300's. There are tales of saints, tales of promiscuity, tales of fraud, and tales of love. While reading, one has no choice but to come to the simple realization that nothing has really changed from Chaucer's time to ours. In "The Canterbury Tales" Chaucer depicted people from all walks of life. Society then had three basic classes of virtue that most people fell under: the Revered, the Commonfolk, and the Despicable. In the days of Chaucer, these people could be found in any village or town, just as they can be found today in our towns. Times were different then, but the people haven't changed a bit.

    What elements are needed to create a good short story? As John Dufrense quoted "A good story has a visionary quality, a personal voice, a signature gesture(1969). The elements used should be used so strongly that it pulls you in; forcing you to connect to the people in the story. Not every story is written well enough to be capable of doing this. This also creates a connection with the reader; leaving some type of effect or impacting the reader along with the characters’ lives.
