“SERGEANT AT LAW”
Chuck Norris
could fit into the character of the “Sergeant at Law’’ because he gives off
this tough demeanor as though he demands respect and order wherever he goes.
Chuck Norris is known greatly for his martial arts career, as well as his
acting career. He starred in a famous show called “Walker Texas Ranger” where
he played the character “Cordell Walker”, who was a Texas Ranger that served
justice and put bad guys behind bars. In the Canterbury Tales, it talks about
how the sergeant ‘’was of noted excellence’’ and ‘’a man to reverence’’; this
type of accolade is exactly how Chuck Norris is perceived in his role in
“Walker Texas Ranger”. As a matter of fact, Norris was just honored, in Dallas,
Texas, to become a Texas Ranger. Now he is one in real life.
“KNIGHT”
The first
person who comes to my might when I think of a knight is Brad Pitt. Most people
know him from various movies he’s starred in, but one particular movie comes to
mind when I think of him and that movie is “Troy”. In this movie, Brad Pitt is
playing a warrior named Achilles who fights for his name to be remembered as “a
great warrior” and win all the respect from everyone a far. In The Canterbury
Tales it speaks of how the knight fought in many battles and was a respected
and honorable knight; also how he led his troops into battles and slayed all of
his enemies. In the movie Troy, Brad Pitt does the exact same thing as he tries
to lead his troops in a victory over the Greeks to conquer Troy.
“DOCTOR”
For the character
“Doctor” in Canterbury Tales Hugh Laurie of the TV drama series “House” comes
to mind. He fits the character well because as he plays Dr. House in the TV
series, he brings such feeling and meaning to his part as though he is the
greatest doctor there is. When I was younger, my mom, sister, and I would sit
and wait for “House” to come on so we all could watch Hugh Laurie, “Doctor
House”, speak all his fancy medical terms, and figure out what was wrong with
people and make them all better. When I was a boy, I thought he was the
greatest doctor ever, and in a way, wanted to be like him when I grew up. The
Canterbury Tales describes the doctor as being very smart in his field and
having a cure for everything a person had. They also say “No one alive could
talk as well as he did, On points of medicine and of surgery”, which is exactly
how Hugh Laurie was, in the show “House”.
