Answer 4

In the beginning of the Canterbury Tales, the narrator tells us that a group of people had gathered at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, England, preparing to embark on a pilgrimage to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket in Canterbury. The narrator himself is among the group of 29 pilgrims, which includes people from various social classes, professions, and walks of life. The reason for their pilgrimage is not explicitly stated, but it is likely that they are undertaking the journey for religious reasons, as visiting the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket was a popular pilgrimage destination during the Middle Ages. The pilgrimage also serves as a framing device for the collection of stories that follows, as each of the pilgrims takes a turn telling a tale along the way.
