The paper discusses the characters as a metaphor for the animosity between the Roman Catholics and the Jews, and also looks at how they provide insights into the early development of the novel form.From the Paper:
"A Prioress, Madame Eglantine, was a gentlewoman, cultured and delicate and coy of manner. She was careful about her appearance and sensitive to the feelings of others. She had courtly manners toward her companions and had a friendly nature, always considerate of the others. She wore a gold brooch that said "amor vincit omnia." ("Love conquers all")"More papers on Chaucer's Monk and Prioress:
