Truth by Geoffrey Chaucer

In the Geoffrey Chaucer's poem Truth we can see how someone could put in doubt the system of those days (XIV century). The system was the church, and the pope who was in charge of the church, had all this non-sense laws that were (and are) in the Roman canon. That was in those days the Truth. Therefore, what Geoffrey Chaucer tried to do was create a critical thinking in his words:

"Away Pilgrim, away! Cast off any advantages of your lie!"

The truth is the perception of what we think is right. Back then, people had no idea of what was happening in all kind of sense. So, as a conclusion, for being critical, you just can’t be tough and direct, you also can be funny and hilarious. And that is why this poem it's called truth, because shows us another perspective, another point of view of the same phenomenon, that is the life. through religion's eyes it is something divine, but through Chaucer's eyes, there is something more that meet the eyes. In other to accomplish this last point, we need to doubt.
