If you're seriously asking this, you paid no attention in class when you were having it read to you. Every character is satirized, you dunce.

One example of sarcasm in The Canterbury Tales is in "The Wife of Bath's Tale" when the Wife says that wives desire sovereignty over their husbands, but goes on to describe how she manipulates her husbands to get what she wants. Another example can be found in "The Pardoner's Tale" where the Pardoner preaches against greed and avarice while he himself is guilty of those sins.
