This document discusses monologue and dialogue as two types of communication and interaction explored in Chaucer's works. A monologue is a single speaker addressing a silent audience through continuous speech, such as in sermons or lectures. It allows for urgency and importance but has limitations. Dialogue involves the exchange of meaning between two or more speakers and allows authority to be negotiated or challenged. Examples of dialogue in The Nun's Priest's Tale include the interactions between Russell and Chauntecleer and between Chauntecleer and Pertelote.
