Imagine yourself as a host. How would you arrange the pilgrims at a dinner
party table? Using your notes and your facts from all the Canterbury Tales
questions that you have completed thus far, create a table seating arrangement
and thoughtfully place pilgrims together. Which ones would you avoid putting
next to each other? Who would enjoy one another’s company and have common
interests to discuss? Who is related? You must provide a rationale for each
pilgrim’s placement. (Worth 35 points total)
You can either choose to have Eris, the goddess of discord, run the party; or, you
can choose to have a peaceful and harmonious evening. Just be sure to identify
your reasons in your rationale.
