Chaucer’s Monk
The Medieval Period of European history is famous for many reasons. The tales of knights and their fair maidens regularly arouse the hearts and minds of modern readers. ...
The Monk in Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales is as from the typical mold of Medieval monk as possible. Instead of spending his time learning and praying, the Monk spends his time hunting and taking part in other activities a man in his position should not engage him. Chaucer portrays the Monk as disrespectful and rude while maintaining a sort of respect for his rebellious nature. The Monk breaks many rules of his order by spending a great deal of time away from the monastery while hunting, wearing nice clothes, thinking about women, and eating excessive amounts of food.
