VOCABULARY QUIZ #5

The Canterbury Tales: The Prologue was written by Geoffrey Chaucer, which was an ecumenical piece of poetry that allows reader to experience the various social levels within medieval times. Geoffrey Chaucer deserves kudos  for his literature since he is considered the father of poetry and had various heydays in his career. This piece of literature had a simple infrastructure, but due to the simplicity, readers from various social classes were inveigled by this particular piece. Luckily, it wasn't a tale of prolix topics and doesn't constantly use tautology to express the themes, tones, and moods. Now, an important fact that is necessary to know is that Canterbury is a small town where various religious individuals pay their respects to a saint, which causes them to be in a state of beatitude. They also wanted to avoid incubuses and live a full life. Basically, The Canterbury  Tales: The Prologue  is a combination of various stories that were told on their way to the pilgrimage, which were fervid and gargantuan. The tale begins will imagery and allusions such as the dank and fetid fields changing into the beauty of spring. As the piece continues, the audience began to truckle to the characters in order to fully understand them on a deeper level. In addition, The Canterbury Tales: The Prologue wasn't just for the sycophants or the privileged. This seemed like a lagniappe  to their society considering there wasn't many resources, but Chaucer was able able to remain obsequious in hopes of not being in a bete noire. This piece of literature also had many aspects that boded well with the characters and plot. Before Chaucer finished these tales, he wrote a bunch of prototypes and got resources from various proteges in order to create the best story possible.
