The Frame of the Tales
Captions available
The idea
Pilgrims travelling to Canterbury agree to tell stories, so the work is a collection inside a frame. Unit ten defined frame narrative, the glossary having no headword. Each tale has a teller, and the teller is characterised by what they choose to tell.
In practice
Each tale has a teller.
Where people slip
The teller is characterised by the tale.
