  3. Marginal Art = extended, altered, or even subverted meaning of text

  4. Doesn’t Have to be Elaborate

  5. Now, on your partner’s rough draft. • Draw 2+ little illustrations representing KEY actions and symbols • Try to DRAW OUT the deeper moral significance • You may draw on the back or on separate computer paper if you need more space

  6. What was the moral of your partner’s story?

  7. Dante’s Allegory NOT totally clear…

  8. Allegory = Speaking Otherwise • In most allegories, the “other” meaning is very open to interpretation, but…. • Exemplum: type of allegory used to teach a specific moral by giving an example. • Author will explicitly say “This is the moral of my story”

  9. Essential Question • How can an Exemplummove the reader to action?

  10. In Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales… • 20+ people travel to Canterbury (Religious Pilgrimage) • Along the way, they have a story-telling contest • The Pardoner says that ALL of his sermons represent the same moral: “Love of MONEY is the root of all evil.”

  11. The Pardoner boasts… • “I make a KILLING by preaching sermons, always with the moral “Love is the root of all evil”. • “The only reason I do it = GREED” “I give EXAMPLES to convince them all to give up money”
