The prologue to the Canterbury Tales is pretty straightforward and I don't have many, if not any, questions regarding it.
It sets up the story by introducing the characters, the goal, and the main character's motivation for joining the 29 travelers on the pilgrimage. The part that made the most impact on me was the very beginning when the author was describing the setting. He speaks about the season and the smell of the breeze without indicating which point of view he was using until the main character begins to think. In my opinion, this was an effective use of this certain literary device and peaked my interest.
