Answer: many characters are victorious in battle but later meet with misfortune

Letter B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The Monk's Tale is contained in The Canterbury Tales, a book by Geoffrey Chaucer. In literature, the theme is the main idea in a work and it can be stated directly or indirectly.
