English

The reason why writers still use Character archetypes is because they have been working since ancient times and still work.

think about it, you have probably heard of these character descriptions in every great book/story/movie.

Shapeshifter- the character that can change turn into something (AKA the werewolf and that pirate from the pirates of a Caribbean) or just go from good to evil or evil to good.

The Hero- no explanation needed

the trickster-A character for comic relief and to cause mischief

The guardians threshold- basically henchmen and stop the hero from moving on there journey

the Herald- the person/object that gets the hero to go on a journey

the mentor- the person that teaches the hero about the world. Also trains the hero

the shadow- the main villain that the hero has to defeat. 

Also there is the monomyth that is the story structure. But you just wanted to know about character archetypes. BTW what class is this in, (and the grade level), I have always been interested in this.

He appears to be crafty when, which I assume is forgiving men, as it says, "He forgave sins easily...hoped to gain a little money...". And based on his profession, it seems inappropriate to [hang around those living in slum] and know all the taverns, inkeepers and barmaids. Also, when it says he arranged many women's marriages, it seems like he was somewhat romantically involved which is probably why he was so well loved. I mean, the author chose to only include many young women into the phrase.  Overall, I believe the friar serves himself.
