Canterbury TalesII what a character

The cook is an interesting chap. He seems to be very looked down upon by Chaucer. The cook, or Perkins, display very selfish and outlandish qualities about himself. His sense of entitlement resembles that of a teenager. However, the cook is not a teenager but an apprentice. He is supposed to be very grateful and humble that he was given such a great opportunity. However, he is more involved with gambling and partying. He has no respect for his master and uses his funds in order to continue with his lavish lifestyle. His wife owns a store as a front in order to provide for their family. The store however, is a front for her prostitution business. This character displays the darker side of human nature and the danger of consumption of yourself.
