CANTERBURY TALES (I)

So far into this story, after just reading the Prolouge, I am really enjoying Chaucer's writing style and the bits of humor and personal elements he puts into his story-telling. All of the characters seem so believable, and as someone in my class pointed out, each character has some elements to them that contradicts the usual stereotype towards their title (i.e. a Nun, Knight, Monk). I'm not sure that were going to read all of the separate tales in this class, but I would be interested to hear more about the doctor with a special love of gold, or the merchant who is secretly in debt.
