The Canterbury Tales: Prologue:
Written by Geoffrey Chaucer:
The Prologue was quite interesting due to the fact that it was based on characterization. The usage of characters was huge because Chaucer used them to show that each person had their similarities and differences no matter what their social standing was. In addition, he also poked fun at reputations and how they can be nothing like the actual individual's personality. Due to his usage of irony, satire, and imagery, I am most looking forward to reading more about the Monk because he is not your typical monk. He likes to hunt, enjoy expensive luxuries, and doesn't follow the traditional stereotype of a monk. Now, I was originally interested in this character because of the humor, but his story can go in so many different directions both positive and negative, which is makes me excited to continue with The Canterbury Tales.
