Explanation:
There are 29 pilgrims in Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales.” As the story progresses, their number grows to 32. The group is made up of a diverse array of characters from different social classes and professions, each with their own personality and story to tell. Some of the most famous characters include the Knight, the Wife of Bath, the Miller, and the Pardoner. Through their stories, Chaucer offers a vivid portrayal of medieval life and culture.
