How does the narrator in "The Nun’s Priest’s Tale" make the story seem epic and heroic? How do the word choice and phrasing affect the narration?

The Nun's Priest's Tale is one of Chaucer's most amazing and nice tales, and on several levels it functions. The tale is an outstanding example of the literary style known as a bestiary (or a beast fable) in which animals behave like human beings.
