Essay based on „The General Prologue“ by G. Chaucer
Geoffrey Chaucer wrote The Canterbury tales at the end of the 14th century . It is a collection of stories where a group of pilgrims have a story-telling contest. All of them are on their way from Southwark to visit the shrine of a holy martyr who had brought health to them when they were ill. Chaucer joined the twenty nine of them in a tavern and started to talk to them. They quickly became friends and then there were thirty. All of the stories and very different characters create a body to the story, which depicts the picture of the English society at that time.
Chaucer depicts the knight as a typical hero . In my opinion he is making fun of him because he exaggerates describing his very polite manners and love for chivalry.

The greatest writer of the time was Chaucer, who wrote many poems and verse and also wrote literature. Another tale tells of William Tell, who shot an arrow through an apple while standing on his son's head. The Renaissance was an age in which more individuals felt the value of their human being.
