Prologue- describes the people who will be making the pilgrimage (journey) penance or spiritual renewal Frame story – story within a story A whole range of people from all walks of life. A Knight to a Plowman Look at the map on page 1175- Tabard Inn to Canterbury Cathedral to the shrine of Sir Thomas a Beckett Iambic pentameter – the natural rhythm of language unstressed – stressed syllables pentameter- how man iambs?

How long will the trip take? Figure it out…….. The distance from London to Canterbury is 55 miles. The Pilgrims’ pace- slightly faster than walking 4-5 mph 8 hours of travel per day 2 days at the shrine How long will the trip take?

A religious pilgrimage assumes a festive atmosphere like going on a vacation. What story would you tell for entertainment? According to Chaucer, literature was supposed to be entertaining and morally instructive. The instruction was through the morals which taught people how to live properly. The entertainment was in the storytelling. Satire_

The Canterbury Tales is a reflection of life and times in the Middle Ages. An anthology of the popular genre of the Middle Ages. The stories represent The literary tastes of different social classes

Through the Canterbury Tales, Chaucer presents ideas on love, death, humor, and faith. → Learn more about the medieval period → Will meet a whole range of people → Will learn about different genre from the anthology
