People during the Medieval Era went on pilgrimages. Some went to grow closer to God. Some people went for personal reasons. Even one of the Kings went on a pilgrimage during this time. In Chaucer's story, Cantebury Tales, we his views on society by contrasting pilgrims that are making this journey. The Parson is viewed as a prime example of what the Medieval Church should be; in contrast to the Nun. Chaucer introduces the Parson by saying, "A holy-minded man of good renown" (Chaucer 487). Chaucer views him as a good man, and he also respects him. He is shopwing the irony of how a poor man can still be a good man at heart. On the other hand, Chaucer explains in humor that, "Pleasant and friendly in her ways, and straining / to counterfeit a courtly kind of grace" (Chaucer 142-143). Chaucer finds it humorous the way the Nun presents herself, because everyone can she that she is fake.
