b. Based on the information given for each character, generate five more physical attributes for each (think fun details)
c. Based on the information given for each character, generate five more non-physical attributes for each (think personality, habits, idiosyncrasies, etc..)
The Prioress
Described as modest and quiet, this Prioress (a nun who is head of her convent) aspires to have exquisite taste. Her table manners are dainty, she knows French (though not the French of the court), she dresses well, and she is charitable and compassionate.
The Monk
Most monks of the Middle Ages lived in monasteries according to the Rule of Saint Benedict, which demanded that they devote their lives to âwork and prayer.â This Monk cares little for the Rule; his devotion is to hunting and eating. He is large, loud, and well clad in hunting boots and furs.
The Friar
Roaming priests with no ties to a monastery, friars were a great object of criticism in Chaucerâs time. Always ready to befriend young women or rich men who might need his services, the friar actively administers the sacraments in his town, especially those of marriage and confession. However, Chaucerâs worldly Friar has taken to accepting bribes.
The Summoner
The Summoner brings persons accused of violating Church law to ecclesiastical court. This Summoner is a lecherous man whose face is scarred by leprosy. He gets drunk frequently, is irritable, and is not particularly qualified for his position. He spouts the few words of Latin he knows in an attempt to sound educated.
The Parson
The only devout churchman in the company, the Parson lives in poverty, but is rich in holy thoughts and deeds. The pastor of a sizable town, he preaches the Gospel and makes sure to practice what he preaches. He is everything that the Monk, the Friar, and the Pardoner are not.
The Squire
The Knightâs son and apprentice. The Squire is curly-haired, youthfully handsome, and loves dancing and courting.
The Clerk
The Clerk is a poor student of philosophy. Having spent his money on books and learning rather than on fine clothes, he is threadbare and wan. He speaks little, but when he does, his words are wise and full of moral virtue.
The Man of Law
A successful lawyer commissioned by the king. He upholds justice in matters large and small and knows every statute of Englandâs law by heart.
The Manciple
A manciple was in charge of getting provisions for a college or court. Despite his lack of education, this Manciple is smarter than the thirty lawyers he feeds.
The Merchant
The Merchant trades in furs and other cloths, mostly from Flanders. He is part of a powerful and wealthy class in Chaucerâs society.
The Shipman
Brown-skinned from years of sailing, the Shipman has seen every bay and river in England, and exotic ports in Spain and Carthage as well. He is a bit of a rascal, known for stealing wine while the shipâs captain sleeps.
The Physician
The Physician is one of the best in his profession, for he knows the cause of every malady and can cure most of them. Though the Physician keeps himself in perfect physical health, the narrator calls into question the Physicianâs spiritual health: he rarely consults the Bible and has an unhealthy love of financial gain.
The Franklin
The word âfranklinâ means âfree man.â In Chaucerâs society, a franklin was neither a vassal serving a lord nor a member of the nobility. This particular franklin is a connoisseur of food and wine, so much so that his table remains laid and ready for food all day.
The Reeve
A reeve was similar to a steward of a manor, and this reeve performs his job shrewdlyâhis lord never loses so much as a ram to the other employees, and the vassals under his command are kept in line. However, he steals from his master.
The Plowman
The Plowman is the Parsonâs brother and is equally good-hearted. A member of the peasant class, he pays his tithes to the Church and leads a good Christian life.
The Guildsmen
Listed together, the five Guildsmen appear as a unit. English guilds were a combination of labor unions and social fraternities: craftsmen of similar occupations joined together to increase their bargaining power and live communally. All five Guildsmen are clad in the livery of their brotherhood.
