I liked studying Chaucer because he reported the bad things that were common in the past. His ironical way to denounce something was the key to making his poem interesting for the people who read it and, at the same time, very true.

In his poem, Chaucer tells the characteristics of 30 different people. Although they have different professions, they are very similiar to each other. I really liked the two female characters that we studied, but the one that I liked the most was the Prioress. Both were indipendent women, but the Prioress has shown a sweeter attitude. The character that I liked the least was, indeed, the Pardoner. Chaucer described him as a greedy person who is focused on himself and doesn't care about the others.

I liked the characters he presented, their story and also their features. I think that I haven't a pilgrim that I didn't like because in general hit me all the characters studied.

The character that hit me more is the prioress because she is a woman with features really particular for her period like be an indipendent woman or that she cares animals and has dogs. Furthermore she's very educated and elegant.

The only fowl in Chauser's poem is that it is difficoult to relate to the characters and the situation of the Canterbury Tales because of the diffrences between the two time periods, for example the churc nowdays is not as important as in the 14th century, in fact even the reasons why these characters go on pilgrimage is quite diffrent from the reasons why you go on pilgrimage today also the irony would be even funnier if I could relate to the corrupted behaviour of the clergy for example, because I would maybe recognize these behaviours in other people that i know and so make It funnier.

I liked study Chaucer both for the first reason and because his work is enjoyable and also funny, thanks to the irony he used to write his story, furthermore it’s a good way to study the middle age without the boredom of a normal history book, having also nice details that can help us to remember the events happened better.

My favorite character is the Wife of Bath, because she is and independent woman, economically because she has a job and earns with it and also she isn’t married. She travels and goes on pilgrimage on her own without a man with her. She goes on pilgrimage to meet new people and have fun with them, she likes life and love and I like the modernity of her character.

Chaucer is a writer which made his works so interesting and even for our generation.

I liked Chaucer's writing style, his way of portaying his characters and the period in which he was writing.

I like Chaucer because in his works always represents characters which are inspired by real-life people and this helps us to understand the life of people from that century, the social status, the way of living and the language they used.

The character I like is The Wife of Bath. Though she is a seamstress by occupation, she seems be a professional wife. She fights against the devaluation of women and the taboos surrounding female sexuality. I think she is a feminist icon.

I didn't like The Pardoner in the Canterbury Tales represents the community of pardoners in the Catholic church who sell indulgences to people for the forgiveness of their sins. The Pardoner is a complete fraud, and he's not shy about revealing this fact to the other pilgrims. He admits that his relics are false.

Chaucer's characters seem very much of our times, I believe that Chaucer is not that far from us.

The character that I liked the most was the Wife of Bath, because she is an independent woman who became rich by being a very expert seamstress.

However, the character that I liked the least was the Pardoner, because he was a preacher that exploited the ignorance of poor and illiterate people to earn money by selling them indulgences and fake relics.

Personally, I really enjoyed studying Chaucer because in “The Canterbury Tales” he accurately describes the society of the time criticizing the bad attitudes especially of the clergy. His style is captivating and fun thanks to a realistic touch and the use of irony and sense of humor. His poems are a different way to understand the habits and mentality of the Middle Age.

The character that struck me the most is the pardoner, a preacher who raised money by selling indulgences, because it shows how the religious figures of the 14th century were only interested in enriching themselves, even through deception, and enjoying their privileges, without worrying about poor and needy people.

My favourite character was the Wife of Bath, because some of her behaviors were very close to nowdays, and she rappresents a part of the middle ages that isn’t very well know above at school: the women’s situation and if there was someone who was trasgressive. The Wife of Bath is the perfect example and I loved her.

What has fascinated me the most about Chaucer is his irony. Moreover, he was the first English author to describe the society as it was in reality, taking into account not only the arystocracy but the entire community (except the slaves).

I can say that, among those characters I've studied so far, my favourite one has been the Wife of Bath because, within the medieval society, she proves the existence of strong women who were neither afraid to express their feelings nor to claim personal freedom. Actually, she goes on pilgrimage by herself and she has her economic indipendence thanks to her job as a seamstress. But the Wife of Bath can't be compared to a 20th century woman because she still has many medieval aspects; nevertheless, she certainly is closer to us than her contemporaries. Instead, I didn't like the Pardoner because, although his figure was openly recognized in the clergy, I can't tolerate the fact that he skams people, especially the poorest ones, in order to sell them what he pretended to be relics and indulgences.

All in all, studying Chaucer has made me more curious because I had to immerse myself in a completely different reality and understand different worldviews from my own.

The character that I liked the most was the wife of Bath.

I especially liked the physical and character description that the author adopts and the context from which she came.

My favorite character is the Wife of Bath for her evolution over time. Initially being a humble seamstress she manages to become a rich and independent person.

The character I liked least is the Pardoner because with the sale of indulgences and false relics he managed to steal money from the ignorant mass of people
