THE KNIGHT: "A knight there was, and he a worthy man, Who, from the moment that he first began To ride about the world, loved chivalry, Truth, honour, freedom and all courtesy" (prologue). At a combat he always killed his opponents. He didn't dress well.
THE FRIAR: The Friar is less a man than the Monk. "A friar there was, a wanton and a merry, A limiter, a very festive man".
THE MERCHANT: He likes to talk. "Scholars have charged the Merchant
with gold smuggling or even coin clipping; but, although "shields" were units of money, they
were neither gold nor coins".
WIFE OF BATH: She has been married five times and she is one of only three women on the pilgrimage. She sounds to be a big woman. "I dare swear that they weighed a full ten pound". She make people laugh.
MILLER: "The miller was a stout churl, be it known, Hardy and big of brawn and big of bone; Which was well proved, for when he went on lam At wrestling, never failed he of the ram". He is a very strong man who like to show off that he is strong. For Example he breaks through doors with his head.
THE PARSON: "a good man of religion, too, A country parson, poor, I warrant you; But rich he was in holy thought and work". He was a patient guy and well content. He seems to be a good man that deserves more.
