The Knights Tale:
A chivalric romance tale needs to involve courtly love and chivalric Knights. The Knights tale is a good chivalric romance. .Palamon and Arcite fall in love with Emily. It is love at first sight. There is a joust at the end.This means that the story is a Chivalric romance because there are two chivalric knights who fight for the  affection of Emily. Palamon and Arcite are chivalric IKnights because if they were not, they would beat each other for their love for Emily and they would tell on each other that one of them escaped. The most chivalric knights loses the battle but wins the affection of Emily. Arcite wanted to beat Palamon to Emily while Palamon just wanted Emily therefore he is the most chivalric knight.There is love, there's a joust which decides on the fate of Emily and the two Knight. In conclusion, this story is a chivalric romance because it contains a romance and chivalric Knights.


Pardoners Tale:

This tale is a morality tale, It always needs to involve a moral at the end. This tale is an amazing example of a morality tale, because it includes one at the end and the whole story adds more 'morality' to it.The tale is about 3 main characters called Dick Tom and Harry.They go on a quest to find Death to avenge Ambrosius. After they all found Death they died. This leaves a moral to the story that if you go looking for death , don't be surprised to find him. After Ambrousius died Tom,Dick and Harry wanted to kill death so they went of to find him. On their way they found and old man that said they will find Death near the oak tree. But instead of finding Death there they found three bags of gold. After that they decided to kill each other to get more gold. Tom decided to poison the other two. And Dick and Harry decided to stab Tom.In conclusion Death found them that is the moral of the tale.

The Nun's priest tale:
The Nun's Priest tale is a fable. The tale has talking animals ,that makes it a fable.This is a great example for a fable because it simply includes talking animals.In the tale there is two main characters Chaunticleer and Sir Russel Fox.Sir Russel Fox asked Chaunticleer to sing, foolishing him. Then Fox grabbed his neck and ran away. While on the run Fox said " Go away , you stupid yolkes ( making a rude gesture) I've got the cock now ! And I'm going to eat him up!" Sir Russel Fox and Chaunticleer are archetypes because they are both cheeky naive. There is a moral to the story , That you shouldn't be so gullible. (Have trust problems). In the end I think that it is a fable because it includes talking animals.

The Wife of Bath's Tale:
This tale is a folk tale. A folk tale always has a believable story, It is also set in the real world. This is a good folk tale because it is in the real world and has a bit of magic in it at the end. The tale is about A knight Sir Codsbrain who flirts with a girl then the queen threatens him for death. Sir Codsbrain found a woman called Alison in the forest and started flirting with her. The girl called for help because she pretty much hated him. Then the queen wanted him dead. Obviously he begged for his life but he needed to answer a question in return.In conclusion this story has to be a folk tale because it is set in a normal place and has a bit of magic.
