These characters include the Friar, the Wife of Bath, the Monk, the Miller and the Doctor. The Friar shows poor judgement by finding husbands and dowries for women he seduced (216). He is the most corrupt clergyman on the pilgrimage because he always said what people wanted to hear just to get his money and run with it (225). He knew the taverns well in every town (244). The Wife of Bath, herself shows this by having five husbands (470). She knew the remedies for love’s mischances (485). The Monk also shows poor judgement by loving to hunt and is dressed in expensive clothing (182/198). He took the modern world’s more spacious ways rather than a strict lifestyle of a monk (180). The Miller was a master-hand at stealing grain (576). The Doctor prescribes medicines so that his friends could make money
