Answer:

"The Canterbury Tales"

In ''The Canterbury Tales'', the pilgrims are setting off to see the shrine of a martyr, which seems to color the stories they tell to each other on the way. This lesson discusses the morality and lessons learned in ''The Canterbury Tales''.

The Canterbury Tales is a book written by 14th century poet Geoffrey Chaucer. The story, which was published almost 80 years after Chaucer's death, tells of 29 people at the Tabard Inn who met each other while traveling to see the shrine of the martyr Saint Thomas Becket, which was located in Canterbury. It is there they also meet the host and narrator of the tale, Harry Bailly. They decide to travel together, and end up telling each other tales to pass the time and win a free dinner at the end of the trip.

Chaucer originally intended to write a story in which each character in the party told four tales, two tales on the way to the shrine and two tales on the way back. However, the published book consists of the main story, plus 24 additional tales. This has led some people to believe that the book was never finished.

When Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales, England was experiencing a lot of upheaval due to class wars, political tension, and the Black Death, a plague that was killing a lot of the population. These events and the ways in which the characters document social tensions impact the themes of this book. Although none of the characters state it specifically, there is a moral lesson in each of the tales.

The Canterbury Tales is a frame narrative, or a story told around another story or stories. The frame of the story opens with a gathering of people at the Tabard Inn in London who are preparing for their journey to the shrine of St. Becket in Canterbury. The Canterbury Tales consists of many tales starting with the General Prologue and ending with Chauser's retraction. Not all tales are complete; several contain their own Prologues or Epilogues. Probably influenced by French syllable counting, Chauser developed for the Canterbury Tales, a line of 10 syllabus with alternating accent and regular end rhyme - An ancestor of Heroic Couplet.

The purpose of the Canterbury tales was three-dimensional characters.

dalvyx [7]

the third one, if you add the comma without the when then you would have a comma splice (when you put a comma between 2 independent clauses without a conjunction) adding the when before Cynthia makes the first part a dependent variable  and makes it okay to add the comma!

Hope this helps! :)

The literary technique that the line above uses is called imagery. It means that the author is using such vivid language to convey strong images in the readers' minds so that they can imagine what they are reading without any problems. You can clearly see in your mind how the blood ran like wine because of the beautiful words the author used to convey his message.
