The two characters I have chosen from The Canterbury Tales are The Knight and the Squire‚ who share a father and son relation. These characters set out on a religious pilgrimage to a cathedral in Canterbury. The Squire‚ opposed to the Knight‚ goes for a vacation instead of religious purposes like the Knight.
