Chanticleer

Chanticleer is a fictional character from Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales," specifically in "The Nun's Priest's Tale." He is a proud and confident rooster known for his beautiful singing. The story revolves around Chanticleer's interactions with his hens and a cunning fox that seeks to deceive him. Chanticleer symbolizes human traits like pride and vulnerability, and his tale serves as a fable about the dangers of flattery and the importance of being vigilant. The character has since become emblematic of the themes of deception and self-awareness in literature.
