Friar

=The Friar=

"..his neck was whiter then a lilly flower."

=== "That lay by hem, they tolde it in his ere. Thus was the wenche and he of oon assent; And he wolde fecche a feyned mandement, And somne hem to chapitre bothe two, And pile the man, and lete the wenche go." Friar's Tale, l.58-62 ===

=== The Friar himself is a __charming__ man that can fool any lady into his arms. He looks like any old friar, bald, short, and in his late fourties. Everyone sees the real truth in the friar, he has a __deceitful__ personality to himself. He sweet talks himself into any ladies man. Hes stuck to the people that could please him with money and fame. He is known around his town as the typical "__crook__". Many of his surrounding others looked at him to be a __limitour__ and a __fraudulent__. Let's just say, he's the the best type of friend you would want to have. ===

== The Friar always put himself out to befriend women after he got what he pleased. It is important to know when a person has the character or trait. Why would you want to be around people that could steal or cheat you out of life. This was the Friar's personality. People had to remember his traits of his deceitful personality so they didn't make friends with such a fool. The people with money and a valuable life have to keep his ways in mind. No one has a choice but to keep him in mind. ==

ALLUSION:
On line 214 it alludes to the four orders, which are four groups of friars. The four orders include: Dominican - Were also known as the order of preachers. A catholic religious order, founded by Saint Dominic in 1216. Order membership belongs to friars, nuns, and sisters. Franciscan - Refers to members of Catholic Religious Orders, founded by Saint Francis Assisi. There are also Roman and Old Catholic Franciscian communities. The Franciscan order was founded in 1209. Carmelite - Sometimes just known as "Carmel", it is a Catholic Religious Order that was founded in the 12th century. It was founded on Mount Carmel, giving it is's name Augustinian - Named after St. Augustine of Hippo. Made up world wide of Cannons Regular and Cannonesses, and Friars and Nuns. Was formerly knows as the Augustinian Hermits. 



The Friar is living a life that was not ideal for a good citizen. I do not think that he is living up to his potential as a person. He is known to be a beggar, and spends alot of his money on drinking, and alcohol. While this is true, the Friar, whose name is Hubert, is a good singer. He seems to become friends with people who are rich, and he accepts bribes. He uses his position with the church to make himself more money.
