Definitely fiction. The Canterbury Tales presents imaginative and often humorous narratives that are crafted by the author's creativity rather than being based on real events or people.
One idea could be to focus on a different perspective of one of the well - known pilgrims. For example, the Miller. You could explore his backstory more deeply, like his family life and how it influenced his character. Another idea is to create a new pilgrim altogether, perhaps a foreigner who has a very different set of values and stories compared to the others. This would add an element of contrast and cultural exchange to the fan fiction.
No, it isn't. The Canterbury Tales is more like a anthology of separate tales. It showcases a wide range of characters and their narratives, rather than following the typical structure of a novel.
The Canterbury Tales is an interesting mix. It's not purely a poem or a novel. It's a compilation of stories told by different characters in various styles.
In the 'Canterbury Tales Graphic Novels', there may be some simplification of the language compared to the original. Since they are aiming at a potentially wider audience, including those who may not be well - versed in archaic English. Also, the graphic novels might emphasize certain aspects more through the visuals. For example, if a character has a particular vice or virtue, it can be highlighted in the illustrations more prominently than in the original text where it might be more subtly described.
