The Canterbury Tales - The Prologue

The Prologue introdices the characters that tell the tales that make up the Canterbury Tales. To me it does a better job explaining the social classes of the people than the introductiondoes and it tell why they are going to Canterbury. The Prologue begins with the highest ranking person being the Knight and ends with the lowest ranking person being the Pardon. I agree with the host that telling stories to and from Canterbury would make the trip more interesting. And a free meal is always a thing!
