Question

Which character holds views that appear the most superstitious and antiquated to modern readers?

A. The franklin
B. The merchant
C. The physician
D. The scholar

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) The Physician.

The character that appears the most supertitious and antiquated to modern readers is the Physician.

We are talking about “The Cantebury Tales”, written by Geoffrey Chaucer. These are a series of tales that Chaucer wrote from 1387 to 1400. One of the shortest tales is “The Physician”. The story talks about the importance of honor and the value to respect virginity in the middle ages. That is why the character that appears the most supertitious and antiquated to modern readers is the Physician.
