This tale has different versions as it is partly a folktale as they usually are passed mouth by mouth, so they get changed over the years of them spreading though countries or even continents. the moral at the end of this story is that 'if you go looking for Death- don't be surprised if you find him!' this simply means that if you try to find 'him' (death with personification) that you will die. Morals make sure that this way a human reader can associate with the story. Morals at the end of stories make you think about your actions and what you do, but also teach you a lesson.

This is an explanation of the genre of the Nun's Priest's tale.
The Nun's Priest's tale is a fable.
There are characters who are talking animals in this tale: 'Pull yourself together, you silly bird!' or 'Just listen to this.' There is also a moral to this story; 'flattery can get yourself into trouble' and 'you should keep your mouth shut when it should be.'
Talking animals is one of the key points of fables. They have human like characteristics, because this way a human reader can associate with the story. The talking animals replace people and say or prove something through the story. This was, and still is a common way to tell someone to do or not to do something without really hurting their feelings or telling them straight to their faces. Also this way the author could express his/her thoughts about the world without naming any names and getting caught or arrested for doing so. Many great authors have used this technique in the past just like Aesop did. Fables are to show people and to make them realise that their actions and behaviour could lead to unfortunate endings.
In this tale Chaunticleer and Sir Russell Fox prove that flattery is a really bad thing and teaches us a good lesson about keeping our mouth shut. Therefore the Nun's Priest's Tale is a fable.

Chivalry and romance becomes a mix that nobody can forget as it all ads up to chivalric romance. These stories are set in the medieval times (12th century onwards), that doesn't necessarily mean that they were written in those days. Chivalric romances were written as a kind of "parody" of the real knights in the medieval times who were actually really really brutal. Romance was the only way they could make the brutal, bad, murderous knights of their time. Sometimes hey have a small moral hidden in the story- 'Who thinks the prize is worth more than the fight!'
