Synecdo-chic


My latest cop-out.

It’s Spring Break — excuse me, Reading Week here, and I’ve spent it working nights, and up to my ears in Middle English.  Reviewing The Merchant’s Tale from Chaucer magnum opus, to be precise.

It’s a total cop-out, but given the fact that I have other paperial obligations, I’ve pretty much decided that I’m going to examine the (very, very obvious) allusions to Biblical Genesis.  It’s pretty much the only thesis upon which I can expound without relying heavily on referencing other tales and pieces of work.

I guess I’m not as much of an over-achiever as everyone says I am, huh? XD
