What idea does the description of the prioress in the prologue to Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales convey? She was a devout nun for whom religion and God were of prime importance. She was concerned for the general well-being of her fellow pilgrims. She aspired to courtly life and behaved like a court lady rather than a nun. She was not a person devoted to fashion and courtly manners.

For Plato users the answer is ''she aspired to courtly life and behaved like a court lady rather than a nun."
