What is Characterization in The Canterbury Tales about?
Chaucer provides characterization details for several pilgrims in The Canterbury Tales, with varying tones of admiration and criticism. The Knight is characterized with admiration as an admirable and reputable man. In contrast, the Friar is characterized through sarcasm and criticism as a hypocrite who uses his position for personal gain. Overall, Chaucer both praises pilgrims exemplifying their roles, like the Merchant, and satirizes those abusing theirs for selfish ends, like the Friar.
