Detailed explanation-1: -She is a large woman with small features who dresses expensively and tends to cry when a small animal is hurt, yet is willing to feed small animals to her dogs. The Prioress is traveling with a nun and two priests, but even though she is supposedly a woman of faith, her story serves as evidence of her anti-Semitism.
Detailed explanation-2: -These elements combine to show a clear picture of the Prioress: shallow, vindictive, unChristian, childish, and immature. She is the antithesis of a truly pious nun of the Middle Ages. Chaucer uses this characterization of her to show his own religious trepidations, and to make a statement about the clergy of his time.
Detailed explanation-3: -What are three characteristics of the Nun in Canterbury Tales? The Nun in The Canterbury Tales is very well mannered, speaks French, and loves being acknowledged. She loves being recognized for her manners, something in direct contrast to her status as a nun.
