Question

The number of Pilgrims' Tales Chaucer planned to write was a lofty goal that he was

Answer 1

Geoffrey Chaucer was unable to complete the 120 stories that he planned to write in the Canterbury Tales because the number of pilgrims he had conceived was to be 31, including himself as the narrator, but he was only able to capture 24 stories.

• In Chaucer's planning, he intended that each pilgrim would tell two stories as they were going from London to Canterbury and two more stories on their return.

• The pilgrimage had not reached Canterbury before Chaucer died.

Thus, his death caused him to lose his lofty goal of completing 120 stories in the Canterbury Tales, detailing the satirical realism of the experiences of the pilgrims.
