In response to Brittany: I feel like Chaucer's feelings towards the rich and poor help us to identify who he is in society. We have no idea who the narrator is; all the audience knows is that he is going on a pilgrimage. However, he can infer from the way that he judges everyone, that he is somewhat educated, therefore he must be one of the wealthier pilgrims. However, he comes off as almost elitist in the way that he puts the rich clergymen down. From this we can infer that he is probably a hardworking man and looks down on the clergymen who take advantage of the poor. Nonetheless, we can only assume that Chaucer is a diligent man based on his morals expressed in the prologue.
