Canterburying

So far, we have met the pilgrims -- via the voice of the narrator, the voice of Chaucer evaluating the personalities and class structure of his England -- and read the Wife of Bath's "moral" story of a knight learning a lesson regarding what women want. From the class reaction, many women in class wanted a different ending for this ungentlemanly knight.

For Wednesday's class, we will be have a wide array of items on the agenda: copying down the next 10 vocabulary words, discussing the Pardoner and the moral of his tale, selecting a location for our own pilgrimage and commencing our character selection, and checking out The Decameron and how this influenced Chaucer to create his own frame tale.
