attitude towards The Monk Differ , if at all , from his attitude the friar

The narrator believes that the monk isn't serious about his vocation, but he also blows that off because he thinks that all in all the monk isn't doing anything wrong; he somply doesn;t care.

The friar, on the other hand, receives nothing but the narrator's criticism. Note, the criticism is well deserved; the friar steals from the poor and has random sexual relationships with women. Let's face it............. both of those actions are completely inappropriate for said vocation.
