In Aristotle's Poetics, he outlines the major principles of tragedy, citing Sophocles' Oedipus as the paragon of the form. Aristotle's reasons are clear: to be the perfect tragedy the play must have a perfect plot. Oedipus follows the classic Aristotelian triangle of rising action, climax, and falling action. The play is full of dramatic irony (the audience knows more than the tragic hero) and verbal irony (the use of sarcasm, understatement, and overstatement).

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.
