3. The Wife of Bath stands for marriage, sex, and arguing. Tell us about a book with a strong female character.
4. The Pardoner is all about ambiguity. Tell us about your favorite queer character(s).
5. The Miller is bold, blasphemous, and overturns conventions. Who is your favorite naughty character?

8. The Friar is all about confession. Confess to us: Have you read the Bible, Torah, Quran, or other religious text all the way through?
9. The Summoner is lecherous and a drunk who tries to sound more educated than he is. Tell us about a book that sounded better than it was.
