Character Analysis: The Summoner

Improved Essays
As the pilgrims arrived I began to plan a seating arrangement so all will be fine and dandy the night of the dinner with no absurd interruptions. I first placed the Summoner in the far left-hand side corner for I know he is an irrational drunk who at any time may be obligated to leave to the distant restroom for his bladder will be full. He is also hard to look at as well with his overly blemished face. That’s why I intended to have his right side free of any fellow pilgrims.
Although there are not many who enjoy irrational drunks. If anyone pilgrim were to enjoy them it would be another drunk. Which to my sources I have found that the miller will often partake in drunkenness upon his dinners. Many are not fond of him, for he also has a large wart on his nose. Like the Summoner, they both alike have blemishes that are hard to look at. I only hope that the miller can refrain from making bold quiet possibly harsh statements about the Summoners profession. Although this may be a problem I have placed them together for the rest of their similarities. I have placed the monk on the same side as the summoner and the miller. He will be seated in the center of the table along with the yeoman but further to the left side. The reasoning for my selection is due to their greatly similar vision of having fun. The monk, a man who is expected to devout his life to study of religion and prayer actually enjoys his afternoons hunting. Conversation could be sparked of that very activity. Only a few others share this common hobby. Hopefully the hunting stories will be spread among the two. The yeomen who will also be on the center but closer to the right side with the monk separating him from the miller. I have chosen his seating arrangement for he also is dressed the part of a forester who hunts. The yeoman could give tips and tell stories of hunting adventures. The monk who is fond of hunting will enjoy his rambling on about his hunts for the monk could only wish it had happened to him. The yeoman and monk should keep each other entertained throughout the night. On the far right side I will have the knight. He will be full of pride and would also like to swap stories of battle. Stories of battle could be a good way to keep those upcoming knights sharp in his mental status towards war. If I have the knight on the far right I shall place the squire in the open gap that separates the knight from the yeoman. The knight is also his son therefore they will have endless conversation. The squire as I stated before will be seated next to his father, one seat from the far right. The apprenticing squire will soon to be

I have the merchant also beside a shipman. I’ve mad the match between the two for their profession is in a similar field. The merchant often trades furs and other items using ships to transport his materials. If the merchant is often speaking with shipmen I thought how perfect then to pair them at them table. The merchant might even try to strike a deal.
The shipman a brown skinned man from his years of sailing has made many journeys and has seen the markets of many ports. The shipman may have information on the markets that could possibly be useful to the merchant. I’m sure the merchant will insist on retrieving information. Conversations will be started and the evening dinner will possibly even be productive for the merchant. The shipman should enjoy speaking and bragging of his travels and journeys. Making the evening dinner go off without a hitch.
The pardoner however will be on the far right side closest to the door. His profession gains much attention and I’ve placed him closest to the door for someone might need his services. He is very sly and accepts money to be his own when he performs his ever so fake pardons of sin. The friar also dose such things. It made me place the two together so they can both laugh to each other tails of who made the most money off the dumbest

    The pardoner was a man filled with greed and discontent for everything and everyone including himself. Chaucer showed this several times throughout the pardoner’s prologue and through the telling of his tale with the use of dramatic irony. It is the same today with all of these quickly rising stars. This modern generation is quick to place a person on a pedestal without truly looking at who they are. Although Chaucer and the pardoner would like for the reader to believe that they are smarter than the unknowing crowd it seems that the majority does not realize that they are already in the…

    The Friar has a way to prove his worthiness to the people, and to show the purpose of life is to give to the people who can’t give to themselves, but used this identity as a way to distract people from his corrupt ways. In conclusion, the Friar performs acts so crooked, the only dishonor he is serving, is to himself. He claims to be a man of God, and to serve his life to the poor and sick, but, he is lying, stealing, and cheating the system. With this, I believe the only person too far beyond repair and damage, is the Friar himself, because other people wouldn’t go that far for something they can work…
