Between Thee and the Woman I will put Enmitie, and between thine and her Seed; [ 180 ] Her Seed shall bruise thy head, thou bruise his heel.
I believe that this is a prophecy that Mary (the second Eve) and Jesus (being the seed) comes and defeats Satan once and for all. A prophecy to the new testament.

Pandemonium
Pandæmonium is the capital of Hell in John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost.

.
God simply allowed it... The angles were guiltless as they came to know that he allowed it.
Proceeded thus to ask his Heav’nly Guest
Adam felt that he was not fit to hear the story of creation.
So unimaginable as hate in Heav’n,
It is said that, Lucifer, before he became Satan, he was the most beautiful Angel of heaven. And he became impressed by his intelligence, power, and position that he began to desire for himself the honor and glory that belonged to God.

Canaan
Canaan was one of the sons of Noah, and he ended seeing Noah's private parts and so... YEAH. According to Genesis 9:20-27, Noah became drunk then cursed his grandson Canaan, for the transgression of Canaan's father, Ham. This is the Curse of Canaan, to which the misnomer[8] "Curse of Ham" has been attached since Classical antiquity.[9]- source/ wiki,Canaan(son of Ham)
Paradise
The Garden of Eve
If obedience to parents be immediately due by a natural law, and subjection to princes but by the mediation of a human ordinance, what reason is there that the laws of nature should give place to the laws of men, as we see the power of the father over his child gives place and is subordinate to the power of the magistrate?
So basically what I'm interpreting is that the people have the right to be taken care of by their government but we shouldn't stick our noses where they don't belong.
progenitors
An ancestor or parent
These acts of judging in capital crimes, of making war, and concluding peace, are the chiefest marks of “sovereignty” that are found in any monarch.

The name Eve means "mother of all living things." Genesis 3:28

The good Lort said to the woman "I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you you shall be contrary to your husband- Genesis 3:16

I love dream interpretations, always interesting what you dream isn't always what you think. True outcries of the subconscious mind.
The subjection which is required of a wife to her husband implieth two things: 1. That she acknowledge her husband to be her superiour. 2. That she respect him as her superiour. That acknowledgement of the husband’s superiority is twofold:
I'm really glad that, for the most part, we no longer see women in this way. Super misogynistic. Yes, in parts the man is the "head of the house hold" but that it is obviously interchangeable now a days. In my honest opinion, I would love to share that role with my wife.
for I esteem little of the malice of women.
oxymoron much?
that all the wit I have will not quench the one nor quiet the other.
So far from reading and listening to the feedback in class, this gentlemen seems to be coming from an anecdote.

I feel like women can be passionate. Which is always a good thing.

There are many things that can murder repose, love can be definitely disrupt a man's life.

This line paints a picture of how lies can be ambiguous
Burn this letter, for it is too dangerous
was the letter burned by Bothwell? Or forged by the Scottish Lords who opposed her rule?
Send me word whether you will have it, and more money, and when I shall return, and how far I may speak.
Asking Bothwell to inform her when she may return to Scotland.
hap,
luck;fortune
and you make me to almost play the part of a traitor.
Here, I believe that Mary is speaking out of guilt. She feels as a "traitor" because she seemed to be an accomplice of Lord Bothwell... There is a lot of mystery and foul play with the "casket letters." 'Written' by Mary.
beguile
charm or enchant (someone), sometimes in a deceptive way.
and that he would persuade me to pursue some of them
love makes you do crazy things, but to be influenced to kill your husband?
for (to tell it between us two) the Lords wished no ill to him
I feel as if she's stating that her and Bothwell wished no ill towards Lord Darnley.

Is this how the urban legend “la Mano peluda” came to be?
a swallowed her in, sometime ramping at her, sometime threatening her, sometime pulling her and hauling her both night and day the foresaid time. And also the devils cried upon her with great threatenings and bade her she should forsake her Christendom, her faith, and deny her God, his Mother, and all the saints in Heaven, her good works and all good virtues, her father, her mother, and all her friends.
She’s been consumed by the demons and evil spirits in her head. That or dementia.
burgess
An inhabitant of a town or borough with full rights of citizenship
Sir Bors
Sir Bors? Or Sir BRO? Okay, I'll stop now. But in a serious note, These Knights are all about looking out for each other. Despite Sir Launcelot sleeping with King Arthur's Queen, almost everyone doesn't believe the other two brothers, or have a hard time believing them; like the King. Despite him doing this, I think the moral of the story is: One man's bad dead does not truly define him.
and therefore we will prove it, that he is a traitor to your person.
Snitches get stitches.
dole
sorrow; mourning.
No more will I, said Sir Gareth and Sir Gaheris, for we will never say evil by that man; for because, said Sir Gareth, Sir Launcelot made me knight, by no manner owe I to say ill of him:
I believe that the Knight's code is synonymous with the Bro code. Don't speak ill towards thy bro-errr, knight.
for I will lain it no longer
I like Sir Gawaine, talking the high road, being a true bro.
slew
turn or slide violently or uncontrollably in a particular direction.
ye must remember how ofttimes Sir Launcelot hath rescued the king and the queen; and the best of us all had been full cold at the heart-root had not Sir Launcelot been better than we, and that hath he proved himself full oft.
So it seems that Sir Launcelot isn't such a bad guy. Maybe they covet his bravery and selflessness?
there will many kings and great lords hold with Sir Launcelot.
Sir Launcelot is rolling DEEP with the kings and great Lords.
I marvel that we all be not ashamed both to see and to know how Sir Launcelot lieth daily and nightly by the queen,
I feel like they should let Sir Launcelot live his life and do as he will with his, paramour?
apothecary
a person who prepared and sold medicines and drugs.
irascibility
irascible. If you're irascible, you get angry easily — perhaps blowing up in rage when someone brushes into you. Irascible comes from the Latin root ira, which means "anger" or "rage," the same root that gives us the word ire, "anger."
superfluity
an unnecessarily or excessively large amount or number of something.
niggard
a stingy or ungenerous person.
Within our yard, I saw there a strange beast Was like a dog, and he’d have made a feast 135 Upon my body, and have had me dead. His colour yellow was and somewhat red; And tipped his tail was, as were both his ears, With black, unlike the rest, as it appears; His snout was small and gleaming was each eye. 140 Remembering how he looked, almost I die; And all this caused my groaning, I confess.”
Chaucer liked to write about "dream poems." I'm excited to see what interpretation they come up with for Chanticleer's dream.

That’s made her husband into a cuckold, Such folk shall have no power and no grace To offer to my relics in this place.
Is he excluding the woman that cheat on their husbands? My inner feminist is upset.
His beasts and all his store shall multiply.

anon

“Dear lords,” said he, “in churches, when I preach, I am at pains that all shall hear my speech, 45 And ring it out as roundly as a bell, For I know all by heart the thing I tell.
I'm a Christian, but to me, upon reading the summary, reminds me a lot of... No other than, Joel Osteen. Always preaching the prosperity gospel.
(i.e. Prosperity theology is a religious belief among some Christians, who hold that financial blessing and physical well-being are always the will of God for them, and that faith, positive speech, and donations to religious causes will increase one's material wealth)
gay
lighthearted and carefree.

Has anyone ever serenaded someone before? Asking for a friend.

I like how this celebrates the vitality and richness of spring.

Staying true to the Knight's code.
Then she gave him good day, with a laughing glance, and stunned him as she stood there, with cutting words: ‘May He who speeds each speech reward you this sport! But that you should be Gawain, it baffles the mind.’ ‘Wherefore?’ quoth the knight, and urgently asked, fearful lest he had failed in forms of politeness.
Persistence is key. Hitting him where it hurts, attacking his gracious and courteous ways.
‘Indeed, lady,’ quoth the knight, ‘you have done much better; but I am proud of the value you place on me, and, solemnly your servant, my sovereign I hold you, and your knight I become, and Christ reward you!’
Sir Gawain is taking staying modest and gracious to a whole new level. I really admire Sir Gawain for staying true to himself and keeping it 100.
bayed
shout loudly, typically to demand something.
Death had come And taken them all in times gone by
I like how this makes me think about how perpetual time and death are.
cache

The intruder who broached the dragon’s treasure And moved him to wrath had never meant to. It was desperation on the part of a slave Fleeing the heavy hand of some master, Guilt-ridden and on the run, Going to ground. But he soon began To shake with terror…………..in shock The wretch……………………………
This passage evokes the hardships of life, The part that states “ the intruder who broach the dragon’s treasure and moved him to wrath never meant to-“ Like we discussed in class last night, I feel that the tone sets a reminder of how human nature/behavior works. Regardless of how our actions may leave us feeling with guilt or shaken with terror.
‘”The day is good thus,” said Cathbad; “it is certain he will be famous and renowned, who shall take arms therein; but he will be short-lived only.”
I appreciate this part of the passage because I like how it displays Cathbad's doubts towards Cuchulainn and what he said earlier in the passage. "A warrior should take arms therein whose name should be over Ireland forever, for deed of valour, and his fame should continue forever." Why would Cathbad go as far as to warn Cuchulainn that his fame would be short lived? I feel that Cuchulainn knows that he fame won't last long, if he didn't he wouldn't had gone to seek Conchobar to ask for arms.
