Glimpses of Chaucer penning his famous work are sprinkled through this re-enactment of several of his stories. |
| Seen it: Yes 1. Prologue | |
| Seen it: Yes 2. The Merchants Tale | |
|
Where an aging merchant loses his sight, allowing his young bride to join her lover in secret.
|
|
| Seen it: Yes 3. The Friars Tale | |
|
This chapter contains the memorable scene where two men are caught in an inn bedroom having sex. One is able to bribe his way out of trouble, but the other, poorer man is less fortunate: he is tried and convicted of sodomy — it does not occur to the judge that such an act cannot be committed by one person alone — and is sentenced to death. As a foretaste of Hell, he is burned alive atop an iron grill.

| Seen it: Yes 4. The Cooks Tale | |
| Seen it: Yes 5. The Miller's Tale | |
| Seen it: Yes 6. The Wife of Bath's Tale | |
| Seen it: Yes 7. The Reeve's Tale | |
| Seen it: Yes 8. The Pardoner's Tale | |
| Seen it: Yes 9. The Summoner's Tale | |
|
A monk is trying to receive personal benefit in exchange for extreme unction to a dying man. Later an angel leads him to Hell, were we see devils shitting out friars.
|
|
| Seen it: Yes 10. Epilogue | |
|
Where Pasolini, in the role of the poet Geoffrey Chaucer, writes his closing comment on the stories, slowly spelling out: “Here end the Canterbury tales, told only for the pleasure of telling them.”
