Write a paper on whether Kaveh’s refusal to sign the document attesting to Zahak’s righteousness or Feraydun’s war against Zahak is more heroic.

Part 1:
In her “Prologue (Grime Mix)” to her Telling Tales, Patience Agbabi writes that “Chaucer Tales were an unfinished business” and that what she has to offer is those “Tales, track by track…the remix” (3). In a post that is 150 words long max., comment on how Agbabi “finishes” Chaucer’s “Wife of Bath” (“Prologue” or the “Tale” itself or both!), if she does. That is, is what she “does to Chaucer” something that will “finish him off,” shut him down, complete him, or not? In your post, you MUST COMPARE at least one (1) specific line or moment in the two texts to illustrate your point. Don’t just juxtapose the two texts and say they are different (or the same), however. Make an argument about what Agbabi’s “remix” “does to” Chaucer! (You can also refer to the YouTube videos of Agbabi performing if you want!)
Reading Material:
1. Agbabi, Patience – Telling Tales
2. Chaucer, Wife of Bath’s Prologue Glaser

Part 2:
Write a paper on whether Kaveh’s refusal to sign the document attesting to Zahak’s righteousness or Feraydun’s war against Zahak is more heroic. What motivates each character’s actions? Do they transcend personal reasons and how are they received and perceived by others? Which of the two figures has the potential to inspire others to stand up against injustice?
