    There are definitely some echoes in the Franklin’s Prologue to other low class characters’ prologues. For instance‚ the Franklin prefaces his tale by stating that he is “a burel man” and he beseeches the other pilgrims to excuse him for his “rude speche”(716-718). The Franklin’s tale also responds to previous tales about marriage. Unlike Walter and Griselda‚ or John and Alisoun‚ Dorigen and Averagus’ relationship seems to be a healthier model for marriage. Dorigen does not exercise too much sovereignty

    Alice Tapsikova A Character sketch of Tellson’s Bank In A Tale of Two Cities Dickens describes Tellson’s Bank using the humor and satire.

    I believe the most “Despicable” character in Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales” is‚ most certainly‚ the friar. I understand using a position or title to perhaps better life as a whole. However‚ to use such a title or position to cheat others into losing what they have worked for and gained is detestable and a gross misrepresentation of a “holy” man. Chaucer’s character worked with the church‚ he had taken vows to serve the people and live a humble Christian life‚ instead‚ the friar used his position
