THe General Prologue 2

He talks about "soundry folk" it says means various sorts of people. I wonder if he's showing the difference between everyone that tells a story. Like the knight is brave, and a "parfit, gentil knight" and the Squire "cuteys he was, lowly and sevisable" , the Yeoman had an elegant daggar and seemed perfect, the Pioress "frensh she pak ful faire and fetisly" had good manners and was very "plesaunt, and amiable of port" but the Parson of Town is poor , the Miller stole corn... It seems like all the people with out money are bad. Either they are ugly or they are a buffun? All the people who have money are elegant and charming, almost perfect, except the Wife of bath, who is not very lovely from the discription.
