There is a strong moral impact in C

There is a strong moral impact in Chaucer's prologue of The Canterbury Tales. Most of the characters display different deadly sins, gluttony, envy, sloth, pride, greed, wrath, and lust. One of the only characters who do not show any of these impurities is the night. He is shown as the cleanest and holiest of all. He is less tolerable of those that are of a lower social class, showing him to be biased. The members of the clergy are the most sinful in this story, which is quite ironic. It is laughable that this motley crew of people are making a religious pilgrimage, for they are all corrupt, including Chaucer and the seemingly untainted knight. For to be a knight, it is common knowledge you must slay another, and the sixth commandment states that "you shall not kill." With this, Chaucer points out how even the most seemingly pious beings are tainted by selfish and the world around him.
