The rioters' pledge in "The Pardoner's Tale" is ironic because, as they swear to avenge death and find Death to kill him, they end up finding Death in the form of the gold coins they ultimately die for. Their greed and moral corruption lead to their own downfall, resulting in a twist of fate where they inadvertently bring about their own deaths.
The rioters typically do not intend to keep the pledge they make, as they are motivated by short-term emotions and not by a genuine commitment to their promise. The pledge is often made in the heat of the moment and may not reflect their true intentions or actions once the situation calms down.
In the Pardoner's Tale, the three rioters pledge to hunt down and kill Death (described as a great thief of lives) so he will never be able to kill more people, and to avenge those deaths associated with him.
The rioters mockingly refer to Death, but end up encountering and giving him the old man. The old man was initially looking forward to meeting Death but ends up fearing the rioters instead. This irony highlights the unpredictability and inevitability of death, showing how attitudes towards it can change in unexpected ways.
Rioters, looters, a mob.
A group of rioters is usually referred to as a mob.
The collective noun is a melee of rioters.
The collective noun is a melee of rioters.
In actuality, the original phrase is "one nation indivisible", which makes much more sense. When the "under God" was added in the 1950's, it split the phrase apart, which I find ironic.
No (that was ironic).
In "The Canterbury Tales," the rioters drew lots to determine who would leave to get food and drink, and who would remain to guard their money. All of the rioters allow the temptations of the devil and greed to determine their actions.
Rioters participate in violent and destructive behavior during protests or demonstrations. They may engage in acts such as vandalism, looting, and setting fires to property. Rioters often aim to incite chaos and disrupt public order.
