    The Nun in Geoffrey Chaucer's (1340s--1400) "The Canterbury Tales" shows her sympathies and tender feelings by weeping by the mere sight of a mouse caught in a trap, bleeding or dead.

    Explanation:

    Geoffrey Chaucer describes Nun Prioress as a coy, solicitous gentle lady, who has well-polished manners and eats in an aristocratic manner. As for her sympathies, Chaucer says

    "As for her sympathies and tender feelings,/she was so charitably solicitous/

    She used to weep if she but saw a mouse caught in a trap, if it were dead or bleeding."

    Chaucer also compares her with Eglantyne, calling her Madam Eglantyne. Eglantyne is a sweet and lovely flower.
