World of Warcraft Pardoner's Tale

One of my former students sent me this link to the World of Warcraft "Pardoner's Tale." It is a pretty faithful re-enactment of Chaucer's original, "acted" out with World of Warcraft characters. According to the notes, it was a school project, and they received 120% grade on it. Well deserved, I think.

I'm curious, though, as to what the author thinks of this film version. I hope at some point Geoffrey Chaucer reviews it on his blog.

  1. Thanks for this link. It happens I just read that tale last week in order to help my teen (who, alas, is not really a reader) understand it. We all enjoyed the movie and sent a link to it to the English teacher.
