Three narrators of the tales comically muddle the romance:  Sir Thopas, the Squire, and the Franklin.

Chaucer shows characters &quot;so far from the true moral order, that they are not ashamed to talk with self-satisfaction about their own inversion of a just and religiously-ordered way of life.&quot;  The naive narrator enthusiastically accepts their immoral premises with &quot;obtuse innocence.&quot;  Chaucer&#039;s easy tone and satiric method are similar to Horace&#039;s.
