How does Chaucer convey themes in “The Canterbury Tales”?

  1. Through puns

  2. Through dialogue

  3. Through paintings

  4. Through songs

The correct answer is: Through dialogue

Chaucer conveys themes in "The Canterbury Tales" through dialogue. This means that he uses the conversations and interactions between his characters to communicate and explore the themes of his work. Puns, while they may be used by some characters, are not the primary means by which Chaucer conveys themes. Similarly, paintings and songs, while they may also appear in the tales, are not the main tool used by Chaucer to convey themes. It is through the dialogue and interactions between characters that Chaucer is able to effectively convey his themes.
