Marriage: The Canterbury Tales
We read and analyze The Canterbury Tales as if they are isolated individual stories. Yet the lively dialogue is what interconnects each character’s story into a whole comedic affect. It’s interesting to point out that each of the characters are tied into one common theme: marriage. Painting the words he wants to each character to speak, Chaucer displays a critical view on marriage. From each tale the common theme specifically tied to marriage, Chaucer points out that it is not a union of love and it can be altered to fit the churches need. With the comedic approach, he wants his readers to not only take a double look at how marriages are treated but place critical thinking on how to define a "good" marriage.
