the whole point of the tales was entertainment. pilgrims would walk long distances to travel, and the group would tell the tales to pass the time. each tale typically depicts a moral of some sort, an example being the wife of bath's tale, where the knight has to chose between having an old and loyal wife or a young and unfaithful wife, and he lets her chose. she then choses young and faithful, showing if you respect someone (giving her the choice) they'll respect you (chosing a better option than he had).

all in all the tales are misc short stories only connected by shared characters.
