"Lord Jesus, not our savior, please help us!" |
Throughout history, the Jewish people have always been treated as less than people. Not only were the Jews pushed out of England, they were pushed out of many many many other countries such as: Spain, Germany, Hungary, and France to name a few. They were forced out by the rulers and the other inhabitants because of their “known” qualities. One main quality that was widely known was them being cursed.
The little boy killed in the ghetto of Asia was killed because of the cursed Jews. Who cursed them? Satan. He did not like hearing the innocent little boy singing praise of Jesus, and neither did the Jews. This could be because of Satan being the fallen angel and the Jews being the ones who killed Jesus.
I feel like the Jews in the Prioress' Tale wanted to finally feel as if they had conquered someone "above" them and that is why they were so easy to follow Satan's command. The Christian's weren't so easily taken down like the Jewish people were; in fact, most kings were of a Christian background.

Wow this is so very interesting, it is so crazy how people during this time and still even today view Jews as a lesser religion and race when Jesus Christ himself was Jewish! The fact that people equated the Jewish people with Satan is so strange since the similarities between the religions of Christianity and Judaism are so strong. I think it just goes to show how humans deal with “different”, when there is something they do not understand or like they automatically associate it with evil (Satan) and feel the need to force it away or ultimately destroy it.
