Rather than leading a life of humility and poverty, the Friar uses his position to steal. He does this by pretending to beg for the poor, but instead, pockets the money. He continues to show his faithlessness by avoiding the lower class, not hearing their confessions, and refusing to help them at all.

The summoner is referred to as a pimp because he demands sex from women, pardonning them from going to the inquisition in return. He also allowed people to have sex slaves in exchange for wine.

The author, Professor Taylor,  begins by addressing the importance of the clergy in the middle ages, and how friars were upheld in society. He claims, “ It is a sad commentary on the clergy that this class that was responsible for morality was often the class most marked by corruption”. He goes on to detail how Chaucer’s Friar exemplifies the corrupt nature of many low-level clergymen and is of low moral standards.

I agree that the Friar proved to be a figure of deceit and perversion. This is ironic due to the fact that he is supposed to exemplify good christian morals and values. As a friar he is expected to beg on the poor’s behalf, live amongst them in poverty, and forgive people in the name of God for their confessions. Instead he concerns himself with acquiring more money for himself and blackmailing others. His behavior is certainly not in accord with the selfless moral teachings he is supposed to espouse. This goes to show that not every character truly is how he or she presents his or herself as.

Greedy as I.

I am greedy,
Greedier than greed,
Motive lies,
Behind each deed,
All I do,
That motivation,
Is to,
Receive,
One thing,
It's behind,
My being,
My smile,
My hello,
All my well wishes,
It's all that I know,
It's my worth,
To me,
It's first,
More than gold,
It cannot be,
Bought,
Stolen,
Or sold,
It is very rarely,
As it seems,
And when it's not,
It plagues me,
It's my own,
Heart disease,
I do not disagree,
I deserve this,
With all my greed.
