Chaucer's New Pilgrims: A Modern Perspective

Chaucer Today

(His New Pilgrims) Chaucer in his day told stories of certain pilgrims he happened to have come across. Often, he found himself criticising some of them because a majority of the pilgrims were very hypocritical. He did this in such a way that the pilgrims would actually stand up, and introduce themselves. After they did this, each one of them would tell a tale or story. However, Chaucer wrote it in a way that some of them would basically admit to being in the wrong with what they do. If Chaucer was still alive and writing today, he would most likely consider adding Colin Kaepernick, TV show talk hosts, , and Hillary Clinton to his list. To begin with, Chaucer would consider adding Colin Kaepernick, the professional NFL football player to this list. He might write how Colin speaks in a very disrespectful way about his country, and is very disrespectful of our American Flag and those who have fought to defend it.. Something he would mention, is that no matter where you are

One reason why he would add a talk show host, is because many times they make things up just to cause controversy. A lot of the hosts speak in a really fast manner, and try to be comical, even though they know they are hurting people’s feelings and leaving an impression stating that their views may not be verifiable. They continually want to get the people to commit their attention so that their viewers will increase. Chaucer would more than likely criticize them because they are dishonest about more topics than people will ever realize. Talk show hosts dress in a very formal way a majority of the time. They wear either business dresses, or a nice button up shirt. You could infer that they dress like they are very wealthy people. Chaucer would be very indignant at how they make people believe things that aren’t actually true. That hints to why he would probably write about them being
