Let the name calling begin....

Oh my... the Friar is soooo ready to dig into the Summoner for all of his faults, but is he ready to get it thrown back at him? I have read the Summoner's tale before, but I can's remember all of the details of it...and now that I've gotten much better at reading and understanding middle English, I cant wait to read the response to the Friar. It's about to be a roast fest...

The Friar is making the Summoner out to be a super horrible person; after all, can anyone who makes a deal with the devil really be a good person? (Bearskin from the German fairytale being the exception...) I mean, honestly, he calls the Devil his brother! From my understanding of the general prologue, neither of these men are exceptional Christians; so, if the devil takes the Summoner down to hell in the Friar's story, I can't wait to see what happens to the Friar... (btw isn't it funny that he gets called out by a poor old lady!)
