In the Canterbury Tales, Chaucer reflects his views on society and the values ​​he upholds through the portrayal of his characters in the overall prologue and in each of their tales. Chaucer beautifully portrays the values ​​of poverty, chastity, obedience, chivalry, and true love. Like Chaucer he uses the group of people to express and portray the image of what 12th century English society looked like and what society was like back then. In The Canterbury Tales, Chaucer's creativity and humor provide insight into 12th-century English society. the group of pilgrims. In 12th century society people drew straws to decide who won and who lost. "Shortly after the day of departure, pilgrims draw straws", This of course shows us how people thought back then, they used sticks instead coins or dice are comparable to modern society. “The tales are full of secular mirth, sex and other sins, and the pilgrims themselves are variously drunk,” wrote Michelle m Saver. Overall the characters of the Canterbury Tales represent medieval society and various professions. “The monk the drunken miller tells the story of the carpenter” this shows us how the religious figures were corrupt, I will focus more on how Chaucer said “The monk the drunken miller” is describing the monk as drunk, monks should be respectful and sober , but Chaucer's description of the monk shows that he does not like him and now does not respect him at all, and Poverty was a sworn oath by the people of the church that they will not live a rich life.

In The Canterbury Tales, Chaucer specifically highlights the corruption in society and praises the goodness of those who are honest. To the sinful nature of the Monk and the Nun, to the great love story and the greatness of the Knight. Through all these examples we can see how much Chaucer supported the values ​​of love, poverty, chastity, obedience and chivalry. Chaucer did a really good job of explaining and portraying the 12th century, so people in the future would know about the 12th century. now rereading the story everyone can identify or compare one of the characters to themselves or someone they know, Chaucer used large figures like the knight and the nun and small figures like the carpenter and the miller to give an example of their wrong actions.
