Question

Which theme most likely underlies the monk’s tale, judging from this passage?
The Canterbury Tales
Prologue
by Geoffrey Chaucer (excerpt)

A monk there was, one made for mastery,
An outrider, who loved his venery;
A manly man, to be an abbot able.
Full many a blooded horse had he in stable:
And when he rode men might his bridle hear
A jingling in the whistling wind as clear,
Aye, and as loud as does the chapel bell
Where this brave monk was of the cell.
