Question
Robert Henryson changed this character’s name to Lowrence in his third Moral Fable, a tradition since followed in Scots literature. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this character. In another adaptation, this character’s appearance is foreshadowed by a dream that another character’s wife dismisses by citing Dionysius Cato and suggesting that her husband take laxatives.
ANSWER: Reynard the Fox [or Renart; accept daun Rossel or daun Russel; prompt on the fox]
[10e] Henryson’s version of Reynard borrows from Chaucer’s “Nun’s Priest’s Tale,” in which he preys on one of these animals named Chanticleer. “The Parson’s Tale” mentions a possible hybrid of this barnyard animal and the basilisk, which this animal’s sound can kill.
ANSWER: roosters [or cocks; accept chickens; accept Gallus domesticus; accept basilicok; reject “hens”]
[10m] Henryson’s fables begins with a retelling of Aesop’s “The Cock and the Jewel,” which also begins this author’s collection of fables. A woman’s nose is torn off by her werewolf husband in this author’s “Bisclavret.”
ANSWER: Marie de France [prompt on de France] (Henryson’s poem is “The Cock and the Jasp.”)
