My favorite character of "The prologue" is:

The Friar and it represents the English life in the middle ages by performing the perfect corrupt personality that people with power, social position, or noble linage had and how they took advantage of someone else and fought to be as good as they could in the eyes of society.

Explanation:

First of all the Friar is a well-spoken person, with good manners, he also is incredibly gentle. But that is for the common eye. Because he also takes advantage of the ladies and makes them believe he helps them by providing them something no one else can give them. When reality is that he just lies to them. He also tries to be always with people with power and tries to use them as much as he can for his benefit. This is the clearest example of the abuse of power and authority. People with power executed in the English middle ages.
