article review
Evaluating, "The Canterbury Tales," article. The "Canterbury Tales," Wikipedia article goes in great depth about the fictional book known as "The Canterbury Tales," by Geoffrey Chaucer. One of the strongest elements about this article is it's structure. I noticed that nearly every section has an appropriate image. For example the first paragraph, which summarizes what the "Canterbury Tales," is has a picture of a 1483 cover of the Canterbury Tales. The subheadings are also in order and easy to follow. There are also lots of footnotes. There are many reliable websites listed that gives readers for information about the "Canterbury Tales." One weakness that I noticed was that the writer or writers had a hard time staying neutral. In the first paragraph there is a lot of opinion surrounding how they think the characters feel. The writers could have also researched some of Chaucer's personal beliefs and how they contributed to the "Canterbury Tales." I believe this would have been worth looking into because I am taking a class on Chaucer and my professor stressed that their is evidence that suggested that Chaucer was against cultural norms such as woman getting married so young. For example, my professor mentioned that in the "Wife of Bathe" tale the "Wife of Bathe," expresses that she is sad that her youth had to end so soon. She is sad that she was forced to get married so young. But overall, this article did a good job at talking about what the "Canterbury Tales," book is and the time period that it was written in. It also did a good job at explaining what was going on in the world, especially in Europe, which is where the "Canterbury Tales," takes place in.
