The Canterbury Tales


The Canterbury Tales is one of the best series of tales ever told. It shows how even in those times people have always been stereo-typical. The people int hat time period just have different belief and values, but in a way we are all the same. The narrator puts the people in the different stereo-type categories (poor,rich,thief,etc.). It shows that it doesn't matter what time period you go to or what culture people come from they are always placed in some kind of category. Chaucer was describing the people with him but it was opposite to what we would see today. He described the merchant as very rich but the doctor poor which is the complete opposite of todays society. I think Chaucer was saying rich as in kindness, and giving and he meant the doctor to be poor in those things meaning he was mean or didn't really care about his patients. I believe Chaucer was speaking the truth about the people who were accompanying him on the journey. He just told the real truth about them not their outward appearance but there true selves.

When anyone is preparing a book, game,movie, or television show there always has to be characters. the character has to have certain traits that flow with the stroyline. When creating a character you have to come up with their traits, appearance, attitude, etc. The character must fit perfectly in the game. It would not make sense to put a fairy princess in a game about dragon slayers. Characterization is probably the most important attributes to creating games, and books. Without different charcters then everything wuld just be boring.
