The Physician's Tale - oh my actual god

The Pardoner's Tale - moralising aside, the twist end to this one made me laugh

Franklin's Tale - this was pretty twisted.

Also, it staggers me that anyone believes the myth that people used to think the Earth was flat when not only is there an abundance of documents charting complex astronomy and astrology going back 5,000 years, but this story refers to the planets as spheres and outright says the world is round, a century before Columbus.

The Squire's Tale - some good lines in this, but where's the rest of the story?? Typing issue, or Chaucer never finished it?

Okay, he never finished it. Interesting take on it in this article: https://news.northeastern.edu/2023/02...

The Merchant's Tale - insane

There was a huge typeset error, too, where about 10 pages suddenly repeated themselves

The Clerk's Tale - thank goodness for the final paragraph, because DAMN

The Summoner's Tale - OMG

The Friar's Tale - has a fun twist at the end

The Summoner's Tale Prologue - is INSANE

The Wife of Bath's Tale - it was alright. There were some great passages in it.

The Man of Law's Tale - oh dear. No thanks.

The Wife of Bath's Prologue - A M A Z I N G !!!

The Reeves' Tale - insane, but admittedly funny

The Cooks' Tale - pointless
