My favorite character of "The prologue" is:

The Friar and it represents the English life in the middle ages by performing the perfect corrupt personality that people with power, social position, or noble linage had and how they took advantage of someone else and fought to be as good as they could in the eyes of society.

Explanation:

First of all the Friar is a well-spoken person, with good manners, he also is incredibly gentle. But that is for the common eye. Because he also takes advantage of the ladies and makes them believe he helps them by providing them something no one else can give them. When reality is that he just lies to them. He also tries to be always with people with power and tries to use them as much as he can for his benefit. This is the clearest example of the abuse of power and authority. People with power executed in the English middle ages.

hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.
