The Friar

- The friar is similar to the monk and prioress = he doesn't abide to his personal rules
- Friar's travels around to seduce young women
- Crafty and manipulative
- Soliciting money
- Doesn't like to spend time with lower classes, although these are the people he is meant to associate himself with
- He seduces women to get what he wants eg. sex
- The friar knew the taverns better than he knew the poor people, suggesting that he cared more for his drink than the poor
- Should have been poor and not own much
    - He earned more that he got through begging from seducing women
- He isn't a man of god although he is meant to be a meditator of between man and god
- He has no interest in helping the poor but in improving his own life
