CANTERBURY TALES (I)

I applaud Chaucer for using the amount of satire that he used in The Canterbury Tails. It was a questionable choice in his day because no one really felt the need to use satire to point out the flaws in society. The amount of rhyme was very elaborate because it must have been very difficult to find so many rhymes, not just for some parts, but the entire thing. I feel as if the Monk will be the antagonist to the other characters because from first impressions of the Prologue, it seems as if it will continue with the typical moral compass to be the unlikely antagonist.
