I have to write a 1.5 page description of 2 characters from the Canterbury tales, the Physician and the Manciple. There's not even that much description in the book on the two. Suggestions?
The Physician - The Physician is one of the best in his profession, for he knows the cause of every malady and can cure most of them. Though the Physician keeps himself in perfect physical health, the narrator calls into question the Physician?s spiritual health: he rarely consults the Bible and has an unhealthy love of financial gain.
The Monk - Most monks of the Middle Ages lived in monasteries according to the Rule of Saint Benedict, which demanded that they devote their lives to ?work and prayer.? This Monk cares little for the Rule; his devotion is to hunting and eating. He is large, loud, and well clad in hunting boots and furs.
