While researching my pilgrims I was having a hard time figuring out how I would read my entire tale, while remembering all of the small details that would be important to incorporate into my presentation. I found a solution! Many Universities have done a lot of research on the Canterbury Tales and have written "notes" on each of the tales. For example, I have the Parson and Plowman as my pilgrims. I googled around a little bit and found a site made by a Harvard student that helps bring out the under-lying messages that Mr. Lazarow wants us to explain in our presentations. Here is the link if anyone wants to check it out. http://www.courses.fas.harvard.edu/~chaucer/canttales/parson/
Of course this is not a substitute for actually reading the tale, but it will help you break it down and understand the difficult concepts.
