It's happen to be my group to present Piers Plowman this week to the class, I was responsible to organize passus 6 and make an summary about it with cites. It wasn't easy I really had to say, though it's not written in old English like The Wife of Bath's; still, i felt my brain was like a clear paper with nothing after reading through passus 6.
Took me a while to understand what's it about (with the aid of Internet of course~) and then I though "wow~ those things this piers guy promotes are so much like what the communists promote." He wants everyone to work (farm basically) without doing other things, he thinks even businessmen and singers are wasters because they don't farm. (That's so commumism!!) And somehow he gets on a fight with a prist latter on; he believes that people who works will go to the heaven eventually; however, the prist insists that as long as one believes in God, one can go to the heaven after death. (ha~ it's kind funny that people get angry with each other for such things)
So glad I'm not a person who lives in that time, or I probably would be driven crazy by the churches.
