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.
