Franklin


 * FRANKLIN **



The Franklin is a wealthy gentleman farmer with a white beard, and dresses very well. He enjoys pleasure, and believes happiness is the goal in life. He is a very selfless person, and gives to the county plenty of food and wine, and bread. The Franklin was looked upon as a model in the county, and they never had anything negative to say about him.

I think the Franklin be friends with the Cook, and the Prioress. He would be friends with the Cook because the Franklin always had food at his home, and the Cook could cook for him anything that he wants. The Franklin and the Prioress would be friends because they both enjoy luxury and pleasure, but still like to give to other people.

370 “He was a model among landed gentry.” He was looked upon as someone who is respected, and take his advice.
