Faithfulness
I believe that the degree of faithfulness does increase the higher the ranking. The better educated would have more reverence for marriage. The Knight does not even consider the idea of unfaithfulness, while the Franklin mentions it, the wife of bath dwells on it, and the Miller considers it unstoppable. These persons ideas of faithfulness is closely matched to their ranking. The Miller, the lowest, claims it inevitable, and you can only turn a blind eye. The Wife of Bath, next up but not much better, has a shallow idea; you could be pretty, or faithful, but not both. The Franklin, being the student and the next highest, does mention it, but never submits to it. The Knight, being the highest, does not even mention it.
