Monks typically live in monasteries, follow a specific religious rule, and lead a contemplative life dedicated to prayer and meditation. Friars, on the other hand, are members of a religious order who live and work in the community, often engaging in ministry and service to others outside of a monastery setting. Their roles and lifestyles within the church are distinct.

Did monks exist in Shakespeares plays?
Yes. There is Friar Lawrence and Friar John in Romeo and Juliet, and Friar Peter, Friar Thomas and Friar Francis in Measure for Measure, in which the Duke disguises himself as a monk. There is a Friar Patrick mentioned in the Two Gentlemen of Verona, who fulfils the same function as Friar Lawrence in Romeo and Juliet, although we do not see him. You may object that technically a friar is not the same thing as a monk, but it is not clear whether Shakespeare was clear on the difference. In any case, King John is clearly stated to have been poisoned "by a monk" and not by a friar. The word "monk" occurs most frequently in his very late play Henry VIII.

How does Chaucer's attitude towards the Monk differ from his attitude towards the Friar?
Chaucer takes a satirical approach to the Monk, but a criticizing tone with the Friar. He admits that the Monk does not follow the rules of his position, but questions, "Why should he?" because he is not actually doing anything wrong. With the Friar, however, Chaucer criticizes him because he is doing something wrong-stealing from the poor, fraternizing with barmaids, and sleeping around.
