1) The merchant had a forked beard. He wore a motley dress, a Flemish beaver hat and daintily buckled boots. He sat high on his horse when riding.

3)These aspects of his personality reflect an ambiguous, reserved personality, a man attracted by good deals and rather full of pretensions.
4) Sometimes Chaucer gives us information about the pilgrim’s profession or what the pilgrim is wearing (wears?)
