The Squire (Orlando Bloom)

    

The Squire is the Knights young twenty year old son who is “devoted to love” and “dresses in flowers”. The Squire is also devoted to making his father happy and helping him out in any way he can and his father appreciates that. He is also full of many talents in which he uses to attract women. He has talents such as playing the flute, singing, drawing, and riding. Orlando Bloom seems to play many roles in movies in which he plays a young “lover boy”. He also plays roles in which he has to be fighting in battle. Like in the movie Troy, Orlando Bloom plays a role in which he fights in battle, follows his dad’s lead, and is infatuated with women. Orlando Bloom has long curly hair and seems to have that boyish charm that anyone would look for if they were looking to an actor to play the part of the Squire in a movie or play about the Canterbury Tales.

Wife of Baths (Lindsay Lohan)

The Wife of Baths is known as a “keen seamstress”. She is known for having had five husbands that she uses for money and personal pleasure. She wears skimpy clothes and talks with a lisp to let people know she is available. The Wife of Baths is very rebellious for doing what she does. Especially for the time period she is living in. Lindsay Lohan would be the perfect actress to play the role of the Wife of Baths. She is known for being rebellious in real life and on screen. She played the role of a high school girl who turns scandalous fast in the movie called “Mean Girls”. When I think of Wife of Baths I immediately think of Lindsay Lohan. If there was a CAterbury Tales movie Lindsay Lohan would be perfect for the role.

The Pardoner (Neil Patrick Harris)

\

The Pardoner is a handsome man who fashionably rides in with the Summoner wearing nothing on his head. The narrator thinks he is gay because of his high pitched voice. The Pardoner is an excellent storyteller, preacher, and singer but he steals donations from the church which is very ironic of him. Neil Patrick Harris is perfect for playing the part of the Pardoner. In the role that Neil Patrick Harris plays in how I met your mother he is known as the “scheming womanizer” which would help him out while playing the role of the pardoner because he would scheme the church people out of their money. Also Neil Patrick is a well known and out spoken gay. He is open about his sexuality in real life and Neil Patrick Harris would play an excellent gay male probably because he would know how to act. In “How I Met Your Mother” Neil Patrick Harris is always wearing the nicest suits. He also is very handsome and always seems to be sporting nice clothing with would make him more like the pardoner.
