| | The sermon on Penitence, used as the Parson's Tale, was probably the work of his old age. | | | The wearisome tale of " Melibee and his wyf Prudence," which was perhaps as much admired in English as it had been in Latin and French, may have been translated at any time. |

| | Frederic Colier, "What Amounteth Al This Wit?" [On Chaucer's Reeve's Tale] |
| | Unfortunately, the grain of the Reeve's tale incarnates cupiditas. | | | Thus the Reeve's tale must be interpreted as a rehearsal for an up-coming confession rewarding the penitent with absolution. | | | Justman rightly observes that " the teller of the tale (the Reeve) oppressed with thought of his impotence (...) recaptures his sexual power, " (Justman, 25). |

| | Chaucer--Parson |
| | Geoffrey Chaucer: Canterbury Tales, "Parson's Prologue and Tale" | | | Portnoy's study of the interpretive patterns in the tales as a whole, and especially in the last fragment, lead her to believe that the "cathedral" structure is a figment of Jordan's imagination because it makes Chaucer more of an optimistic moralist than the tales can support. | | | The Parson offers to tell his tale "To knytte up al this feeeste and make an ende" (47), implying the tale is a summa or logical "summation" of all that has gone before. |

| | The people of Oxford, mainly clerks, arrive in response to the household's cries of "Out harrow!" and the clerks all laugh at John, believing the lovers' tale that he madly imagined the second Flood by himself. | | | Consider the possibility that even the bawdy tales can be designed to have a moral effect if read by sophisticated readers who are aware of the frame-narrative's influence on the tale's significance. | | | Critics are divided on the issue of whether the fabliaux were intended for noble audiences because the tales made the bourgeois look so bad, or were intended for the bourgeois, themselves, indicating that they had a strong appetite for seeing themselves satirized in literature. |

| | Free-TermPapers.com - Silence And Suppression In The Reeve's Tale |
| | The Reeve’s Tale is starkly contrasted to this. | | | The reality is that the behavior of the Reeve and the characters in his tale are not random or unaccountable. | | | They are characterized by their description in the General Prologue, but not fully developed until they are seen in contrast to the pilgrim they are “quiting.” As the Miller’s personality is developed by his dissimilarity to the Knight, so is the Reeve by the Miller. |

| | Chaucer's Wife of Bath's Prologue and Tale study questions |
| | The Wife of Bath's Prologue is an example of the genre known as a literary confession (or "apology"), a first-person narrative in which a character explains his or her character and motivation. | | | LOOKING DEEPER: The Franklin's Tale (a good and short read if you have time!) has sometimes been interpreted as representing Chaucer's "real" view of an ideal marriage founded upon equality, as opposed to the "bad" sort of marriage, founded upon dominance (maistrye), found in the Wife of Bath's Prologue and Tale. | | | NOTE: since you are not all using the same translation, references to the Wife of Bath's Prologue and Tale throughout the study questions and in class discussion will be to LINE NUMBERS in the original Middle English text printed in the NA. |

| | commentary on the clerk's tale |
| | The texts of The Wife of Bath's Tale and The Clerk's Tale are bound together by a common theme of marriage. | | | In this tale, The Clerk's character Griselda rises from the lowest rank to the highest by proving her worthiness through a series of tests. | | | Due to the nature of the pilgrims' tales, it seems the narratives of the Wife of Bath and the Clerk fuel the language within them, creating the arguments and the characters that say them. |
