Read the excerpt from the General Prolgue to the Canterbury Tales.
How does the author characterize the business woman
from Bath in this excerpt?
Abd
Comfortably on an ambling horse she sat,
Well-wimpled, wearing on her head a hat
That might have been a shield in size and shape;
A riding-skirt round her enormous hips,
Also a pair of sharp spurs on her feet.
O by describing what she says and does
O by describing what she thinks and feels
O by describing the way she looks
O by describing how others react to her
