Geoffrey Chaucer used the popular pilgrim metaphor to create his beloved, Canterbury Tales. Written during the last decade of Chaucer's life, the Tales mark a surprising new vision that outshines all of his other works, as it is written as a narrative poem in which a group of thirty-one pilgrims, representing many various social groups, traveling from London to Canterbury share tales. Creating a new version of the human comedy also illustrates the various forms of medieval narrative, the use of Arthurian themes, and the morals in each narrative.
