Answer and Explanation:
In "The Canterbury Tales" it is the work of Chaucer that we can observe a strong satire between the real and the ideal. Chaucer does this in an acid and biting way in some moments, but he does it in a soft and fun way in others, but at all times, we can see that he is directing this satire to English society in the Middle Ages. He does this by presenting a series of characters who occupy different social positions and personalities within English society. These social positions imply that these characters act in a specific way, but many of them act in a completely opposite way. As an example of this, we can mention the members of the clergy who should act with holiness and honesty, but are corrupt, greedy and violent in some of their actions.
