Chaucer writes with irony about the Prioress, or nun, in "The Canterbury Tales: Prologue," and the things that he says about her mean the opposite. His descriptions make her seem very worldly, strives to have exquisite taste, that she has dainty table manners, and dresses well.

Chaucer presents the Nun in "The Canterbury Tales" as a well-meaning but ultimately flawed character who is more concerned with worldly appearances than true spirituality. He subtly critiques her ostentatious displays of wealth and vanity, suggesting that she falls short of the ideal of a devout religious figure.
