The 5 Tradesmen- Canterbury Tales

Physical Appearance: They were trim and their gear was practically brand new. Their knives were wrought with purest silver and they are put on their girdles and on pouches. They were well dressed and they were well kept up.

Narrator's Opinion: He doesn't like them and that they are snooty.

My Opinion: I like them because they are really clean dressed and that they had the top of the line equipment and apparel

The Franklin- Canterbury Tales

Physical Appearance: He had a white beard.

Narrator's Opinion: He is very rich and he would allow anyone to come into his house to drink and eat. He was very kind to all of his guests and very welcoming.

My Opinion: I think that he was very rich and liked to party. I also think that he kinda lives life with no regrets and he is a successful person.

A Sergeant at the Law- Canterbury Tales

Physical Appearance: He wore a homely parti-colored coat, girt with a silken elt or pin stripe stuff.

Narrator's Opinion: He wasn't very  interactive with his work, but he was good at what he did.

My Opinion: I think that he was a good lawyer, but I feel as if he was more in it for the money then actually helping the people with their situations.

Oxford Cleric- Canterbury Tales

Physical Appearance: He wasn't too fat, he had a hollow look, a sober stare, and he wore a coat.

Narrator's Opinion: He read books and was smart; the narrator thinks he will gladly learn and teach.

My Opinion: I think that he is a very smart guy, but he is also very shy and unsocial.

Merchant- Canterbury Tales

Physical Appearance: The Merchant has a beard, motley dressed, wears a beaver hat, and had buckled boots on.

Narrator's Opinion: The author didn't know the merchant's name and thought he was an excellent person. He also said that the merchant was poor.

My Opinion: I feel as if the merchant was a little sneaky because no one knew his name or that he was kinda like a homeless man and he just would sell anything that he got his hands on to get out of debt.

Friar- Canterbury Tales

Physical Appearance: He was dressed simliar to the monk except he wore a rope as a belt. His neck was whiter than a lily flower, he begged people, and he was a ladies man

Narrator's Opinion: I think the narrator feels sorry for him in a sarcastic way. That he thinks that he is a crook and just using his ways for money.

My Opinion: The Friar sorta reminds me of a scam artist that just persuades people to pay them for something that isn't neccessary to be paying for.

Monk- Canterbury Tales

Physical Appearance: He was a fat man that hunted and rode a horse. His sleeves were garnished at the hand and had grey fur. He was bald and it shone like looking-glass. He was also very pale.

Narrator's Opinion: I think he agrees with the monk's views. He doesnt think he has to be succluded from the world.

My Opinion: I think that the monk doesn't have to be succluded from the world as well.
