The Canterbury Tales

Today i am blogging about some reading material from the Canterbury Tales. We have been asked to answer a few questions and i hope to answer them to the best of my ability. The first question I was asked was ask why did Chaucer select the specific stereotypes or characters that he did? Well my answer to this question would be that he chose these stereotypes or characters to show them in a diplomatic manner. I feel that by creating these characters he was in some way trying to teach us a moral lesson.

The next question i was asked to answer is what importance did they play to that particular society? Well the characters played a big role to this society they were very important in many ways. He uses the characters to creat a vivid description of the english society of that time. Without the characters the story would not be the same. Next I was asked if i believed that the story really reflected that particular time period well I guess im kinda conflicted. I feel that like every other story there is always some truth but i also feel that there are some exagerations.

In my game the development of the character will be very important. If your character does not make since in the game then the game makes no sence. Your character makes the game it gives it life. So I am going to do my best to create a character that helps my game and is appealing to the player.
