The Friar (Hubert)
He is an immoral man concerned largely with profit rather than turning men away from sin. His tale is an attack on the wickedness of summoners.
The Parson
The Parson is a man devoted to his congregation, decent and principled. His tale is a long dissertation on the definition of sin and its various forms.
