Thesis: Considering there is no definitive answer to a century’s old text like the “Canterbury Tales” I would draw the conclusion that the underlying motive seemed to be to inform people of life in Britain at the time, create a legacy of English literature, and showcase the disparities of folks in different walks of life yet how they all converge and interact.
First Body: Chaucer paints a vivid portrait of life in Feudal England by giving a voice and actions to groups generally frowned upon or not spoken about in the hierarchical structure.
Second Body: This great collection of stories would be a stepping stone in the English written tradition leading to future authors years after like Shakespeare, J.K. Rowling, etc.
Third Body: Display how many people from different circumstances share a similar human experience.
Conclusion: Restate thesis and incorporate ideas like the literary elements/techniques used some were irony, imagery, foreshadowing, etc.
