Canterbury Tales Political Project: The Doctor for District Judge The tale the doctor chooses to tell is grim, and more than anything, depressing. He changes the theme of the tales from comedy to realism, possibly to show the harsh truth of the world around the pilgrims. The other pilgrims prior to the doctor had told narratives that were unconventional, but still contained some good-naturedness or comical acts. However, this was not the case for the doctor.

Seely states, “He is trying to sell a story that cant be sold”. Which I believe he means that these issues will never disappear as long as they continue to be avoided by ridiculous riddles.

His statements are very self-contradicting and a bit absurd but in reality it expresses a possible truth which is what I found most interesting. I have researched other poems spoken by Rumsfeld but “The Unknown was the one that I found made the most sense to me that is way I want to
