... The narrator of the Canterbury tales starts out by saying that he is "Ready to go on my pilgrimage to Canterbury with a most devout heart" (Chaucer 3). ... One might assume that if the Bible was the law then the government would be holy, good and obey what it preaches, but Chaucer saw, from inside the palace walls, that this assumption was wrong. Chaucer emphasized the Churchs corruption and greed, especially in Canterbury tales. ... The monk in particular is described as man who "Did not care for that text plucked hen which says that hunters are not holy men, and that a monk, when he is heedless of duty, is like a fish out of water"(Chaucer 6). Chaucer is implying that the monk would rather hunt than pray, which is odd for a man of the cloth and especially for one on a religious pilgrimage.
