In 1357, Geoffrey Chaucer became a public servant to Countess Elizabeth of Ulster and continued in that capacity with the British court throughout his lifetime. The Canterbury Tales became his best-known and most acclaimed work. He died October 25, 1400, in London, England, and was the first to be buried in Westminster Abbey’s Poet’s Corner.

The medieval society was set on three foundations: the nobility, the church, and the peasantry. Chaucer’s satire targets all segments of medieval social issues, human immortality, and depraved heart. For example, he exposes each social layer of his pilgrims and beautifully illustrates how they fail to fulfill their actual duties. He further shows the theme of social satire in The Nun’s Priest’s Tale that satirizes courtly love and sets aside a standard of dignity. The Wife of Bath’s Tale mocks the religious logic as the wife interprets The Bible verses in her own way to support her argument.]]> 2021-10-29 17:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/eduardoantonio0910/y19wes5vtc6f74r1/wish/1854510927 Words in modern English https://padlet.com/eduardoantonio0910/y19wes5vtc6f74r1/wish/1854548922 - Shourës :  soote sweet showers, rain
