The Franklin
He was a traveling companion to the lawyer. He is wealthy, but of noble birth. He enjoys luxurious living. The Franklin is a connoisseur of food and wine. He depicts gluttony. The narrator dislikes him because he wastes resources.

The Doctor
He is not a religious figure; indeed, he rarely read the Bible. He practices his treatments on people. During this time the balance of the “humorous” in the body was thought to be the key to health and disease. Besides, the narrator suggests that the doctor obtains economical revenues by prescribing medicines to the patients, since it was common during those times for doctors and druggists to have a moneymaking alliance.

The Wife of the Bath
She is an excellent seamstress and weaver. She has been has been in different pilgrimages to Jerusalem and other parts of Europe. Chaucer likes this character because she is honest. Unlike the other religious figures in the pilgrimage, she goes the Canterbury Cathedral faithfully to clean her sins. She has had five husbands; all of her marriages were legitimate and recognized by the church. The wife of the Bath´s gap-teeth suggests that she knows very well the art of love.
