Prioress

Described as modest and quiet, yet speaks french while should be serving god, the Prioress Nun, is very contradictory as depicted by Chaucer. Although she is described as quite charitable and compassionate, she's literally the complete opposite of a nun, especially a "Prioress" nun. Not only does she have a big taste for fashion and jewelry and about the way she looks, "Her veil was gathered in a seemingly way, her nose elegant, her eyes glass grey; Her mouth was very small, but soft and red". She is even later described as pampering her dogs, with "roasted flesh, or milk, or fine white bread" (Chaucer 149-51).   In my opinion, i think that the Parson, although is a real, true person of god, would be good friends with the Prioress Nun. One is a nun, and one is a priest, of course the two would go together. Another character described by Chaucer as a monk, i think would also in my opinion be great friends with the Prioress. The two both contradict their character. The prioress is a complete flop of who she is supposed to be, and the "monk", atleast who is supposed to be one, likes sports and hunting, etc. And rather than practicing text, and spreading faith for god like what monks are supposed to do along with living in poverty, he enjoys eating and living a life full of luxury. "...i saw his sleeves were garnished at the hand with fine Grey fur, the finest in the land" (Chaucer 191-92).
