2. Chaucer, Canterbury Tales - How is each of the pilgrims characterized
Chaucer, Canterbury Tales - How is each of the pilgrims characterized? (How do they look, what is their occupation, how do they act?) - What is the relationship between a person’s physical appearance and his/her moral state? - How do the pilgrims interact with each other? Are they friendly or hostile? Why? - What can the interactions between the pilgrims tell us about social relations/tensions in late medieval England? - How are the clergy portrayed? How does this portrayal reflect late medieval crises in the church and the increase in anticlericalism? - Is there anyone Chaucer portrays in a positive manner? (Pay attention to the General Prologue) - What kind of story does each character tell, and what does this tell us about contemporary expectations based upon things like class/gender/educational level?
