The Wife of Bath is the most interesting of the cavalcade characters. Not only is she terribly sweet and religious, she has been married five times. Because she has had so many husbands, she appears worldly and knowledgable. She certainly has much life experience, and consequently, many good stories to tell. Though she appears a bit lecherous, her congenial nature makes up for it. Chaucer has succeeded in making the Wife of Bath a complex, interesting, and likeable character.
The Knight's son, the Squire, is the most interesting character. He is described as a lover and a cadet. He was agile and strong and has a reputation for flirting with girls. Except for his lecherous characteristics, he is almost perfect in every way, like his father. For this reason, I believe he is the most interesting character and will have an interesting story to tell.
The most interesting pigrim in Chaucer's Calvacade is defintely the Parson. The Parson is a good country of good moral values and standards. He is caring, chartiable, understanding, and religious. He believes he must set the example for everyone in the world. He has the mindset of a perfect person and the characteristcs of an intellectual thinker.
The most interesting pilgrim in Chaucer's calvacade is The Franklin. The Franklin seems to be the most personable because of his hospitable ways. The Franklin reminds me of Santa Clause because of his white beard and rosy cheeks. He is generous and is compared to St. Julian, the patron Saint of hospitality. I think if I was in the calvacade The Franklin would have been the person I would get along with most.
The Wife of Bath is the most interesting character because she is vibrant and unique. She stands out from other women of her time by having many husbands and lovers, traveling alone, and not riding sidesaddle. Her story of becoming deaf proves she has a loud personality and a lot of life within her, always argueing. She is attractive, but is also well-traveled and well-spoken. Her dress and how she carries herself make her stand apart, and I can't wait to see what story she has in store.
I personally find the Wife of Bath to be the most interesting. She is very religious, yet she is also lecherous. Her attire, including the red hosery, is quite hilarious. She has even been married five times to guys that are probably much older than she. I think i would find the Wife of Bath most entertaining.
