If you lived during Medieval times, what role do you think you would have played? In what occupation/trade might you have worked? Explain your decision.


Being a female during the Medieval times did not offer many opportunities for a career. I would most likely end up being a wife and have kids at a very young age. But regaurdless, I would want to be a physician. In The Canterbury Tales, Chaucer describes the doctor as not one who has a degree in medicine, but one who follows the stars. Living in a time when technology was nonexistent, there wouldn't be much to do except study what's around you. I find stars and astrology very interesting, so I would not following a career like the physician described in The Canterbury Tales.
