Historical Perspectives When

After reading the Prologue of "The Canterbury Tales," we can say the following about how Chaucer shows the dramatic political and social change:

  • The emergence of the middle class and the abandonment of the feudal system are all reflected in the Prologue.
  • Among the several characters listed by Chaucer, the knight is the only one representing the feudal system and its old values.
  • The other characters, like the new middle class, question the system, the rules, and the values that had been so prevalent. They have their own interpretations of right and wrong.
  • The characters' ideas of what is moral and their religious beliefs are loose, all of which are results of the drastic social changes that occurred.

There are several characters in "The Canterbury Tales" on a pilgrimage to visit a saint's tomb.

Most of them serve as an allegory to the social changes happening in England at the time when the story was written.

With the exception of the knight, the characters represent the new middle class that emerged from the feudal system.

The knight is the only one of noble birth and whose values have remained unchanged.

Characters such as the Wife of Bath and the Pardoner have loose morals. They are not attached to what society and the Church expect from them.

They live their lives by their own standards and make their own interpretations concerning what is right and what is not.

Answer: Take it one step at a time. Annotations are up to you. Highlight words and phrases that you find interesting, or peculiar and , as the directions state: Label "Question" if you wonder why the author used it, or you might want to find the definition or ask others about their interpretation. Label "Track" if the phrase or sentence is like evidence for how the plot, characterization or theme is developing. Label "Response" If you have a reaction-- like "This narrator is showing signs of insanity. Eight nights sneaking in to look in on an old man sleeping. He's crazy!"

Explanation: I see the word "steadily" highlighted. You might question why the word is repeated. Is it to establish a rhythm-- like the narrator's own heartbeat?

There is no exactly right answer to this. The only mistake is not to try.

Good Luck-- and enjoy the story, IF you can imagine yourself in the scenario!
