In Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales‚ each character tells their tales based on their experiences or beliefs. Although they may all be different‚ some stories do share similarities.

Romeo and Juliet: Forbidden Love Leads To Death We just finished reading the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. In this play we are introduced to the tragic story of their forbidden "love" which ultimately leads to their deaths.
