The Suave Squire

Having read parts of the Canterbury Tales before, I knew what to expect when diving into the general prologue. But, of course, middle English still got to me and I trudged along, trying to figure out what these characters were all about. The one person that I have found most entertaining thus far is the Squire. Our narrator describes him as a dashing young lad who is anything but boring! With his perfectly curled hair and his singing capabilities, I might wonder if he was a ladies man...but thanks to Chaucer, I don't have to wonder! We're told about the Squire's evening shenanigans: "So hoote he lovede, that by nightertale / He slepte namoore than dooth a nightingale."

Of course, the other appealing person would have to be the Cook, after all, I've heard that he bakes great pies!
