Una is the true faith-a symbol of truth and faithfulness. Una enlists RCK's help to defeat the monster and free her parents.

Duessa is the false church and is associated with the House of Pride which protrays all of the corruption in the world (there are fallen princes there). Duessa is used to lead Redcrosse astray and thus to prevent him from finishing his quest.

What is the difference between metrical tale and metrical romance?

A metrical tale is a narrative poem that tells a story in verse form, often with a simple and straightforward plot, while a metrical romance is a narrative poem that typically involves more complex and fantastical elements, such as chivalry, knights, and supernatural occurrences. Metrical tales are usually shorter and more focused on moral lessons or entertainment, whereas metrical romances are longer and delve into themes of love, adventure, and heroism. The distinction lies in the style, structure, and content of the two forms of poetry.


Can you translate modern English into middle English?

Middle English, like that used by Chaucer, can certainly be translated into Modern or Present Day English as indicated by the many many translations of Chaucer's work available... so of course the opposite is also true. Edmond Spencer wrote The Fairie Queene in a faux Middle English as praise to English Literary tradition; so there's no reason someone today could not do the same. See the Blog "Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog" as an example.You might need to invent some words though. Middle English didn't have words for things like "laser" or "cell phone" or "computer", so you'd have to come up with some phrase for those concepts (or just use the modern word, as in the "hath a blog" title above).

How did Duessa appear in the faerie queene?

Duessa appears to Redcrosse as beautiful, but the others characters see her as ugly. She represent the "false" church and tempts Redcrosse. She is a manifestation as high lust, thus spiritual damnation. Duessa claims the highest lineage and makes herself queen, so she is not a good character. Duessa is Una's foil.
