The Cantebury Tales Character Explanations

Character Explanations of the Canterbury Tales
The Nun, the Monk, and the Parson.
All three of these people share similar interests, the most prominent of which is their devotion to God. I figured that if these people had similar ideas, then they would be less likely to get into an argument, or even worse, a fight. I am sitting people in groups of three, so I call this group the ‘pious’ group. This group is flanked by the group of the Friar, Cook, and Franklin, for they seem very congenial, and the group of the Merchant, Oxford-Cleric, and Sergeant at Law. I predict this group will speak amongst themselves, and not cause too much trouble.

The Friar, the Cook, and the Franklin.
This next group of people I refer to as the ‘merry’ group. The Friar and the Franklin both enjoy a good party, and would most likely recount stories of their previous indulgences. The cook and the Franklin are both knowledgeable in the way of food. They could share recipes, or maybe even strike up a future business deal, for one of the Franklin’s parties he is always having. They are seated next to the ‘pious’ group, and the group of the Knight, Yeoman, and Squire.
The Merchant, Oxford-Cleric, and Sergeant at Law.
The men I placed in this group all share the trait of having a relatively large sum of knowledge in their minds. I refer to this group as the ‘wise’ group. The Oxford-Cleric would want to hear everything the other two had to say, in the hopes he may learn something. The Sergeant would surely be glad to express his ideas to the other two, seeing as he is a very political man. The Merchant could convey his idea of the sea-police to the others and see what they think of it, and if it is good, it may be imposed by the Sergeant. This group is seated next to the ‘pious’ group and the group of the Knight, Yeoman, and Squire.
The Knight, Yeoman, and Squire.
This group is already acquainted with one another. The Squire is the son of the Knight, and the Yeoman is the Knights...
