The reading by Geoffrey Chaucer "Nun" introduces to us a Prioress who is the head of the convent, unlike the peasant nun she tries to be sophisticated and fit it a higher social status which is renounce in the convent, Thus her love for material things, Nuns were expected to behave appropriately,. She tried to pass for french but didn't quite sound original, although she was describe as well put together;she was said to have a ugly forehead(154-155). The prioress adores pets and showed compassion towards them knowing that pets weren't allowed in the convent. The prioress is a woman who is not ready to make such a commitment in the convent since she tries to do all the opposite of what is expected, she carry traits of the wife from "The Shipmans Tale" who adored the nicer things in life.
