"In towns he knew the taverns, every one, and every good host and each barmaid too-better than begging lepers, these he knew." This line particularly stuck out to me because of how relevant it still is today. I think many Christians and even churches as a whole fail to love and provide for people in need because they are more concerned about themselves. It's easy to let stress and various obligations keep us from noticing small needs in others lives, though God may have equipped us to meet that persons need in a unique way.

I like this a lot. He paid attention to the people of his town in great detail.
ReplyDeleteI think you dug too deep and missed the comedy in this line. The friar was a drunk, not a "good" christian.
ReplyDeleteYa, I'm with JC. The friar was a corrupt hypocrite of a man. But, then again, we were only given the prologue and that is unraveled more so later on.
