Cjantaclàr E Partelote

Geoffrey Chaucer

1981

British Literature, Classics of Literature, Poetry

Translated by Ermes Culos

A narrative poem, specifically part of ''The Nun's Priest's Tale,'' that belongs to the 14th-century literary period. This remarkable work is a fable that explores themes of pride, cunning, and the consequences of ignoring warnings. The unlikely tale centers around a rooster and his hen, revealing moral lessons through their interactions and the eventual confrontation with a cunning fox. The story begins with Cjantaclàr, a proud and beautiful rooster, who captivates his hen, Partelote, with his singing. However, he dismisses her warnings about a nightmare regarding a fox threatening him. Ignoring her advice, Cjantaclàr eventually finds himself ensnared by the smooth-talking fox, who flatters him into singing and exposing himself. The plot unfolds with clever twists as Cjantaclàr outsmarts the fox, ultimately escaping danger. Through lively dialogue and vivid descriptions, the tale conveys profound insights into human foolishness, the nature of dreams, and the importance of heeding advice, making it a thought-provoking yet entertaining fable that resonates through the ages.
