Chaucer -- Lovers and Love in “The Knight’s Tale,” “The Merchant’s Tale,” and “The Wife of Bath’s Tale”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses Geoffrey Chaucer’s views on love and lovers as presented in three of “The Canterbury Tales.” Each of these three Tales clearly speak to much of the romance Chaucer saw around, him both in terms of love and passion, as well as in the sense of the adventure and lyricism of “romanticism.” They also demonstrate darker sides of human love in a way that presents a character but makes no particular judgment on him or her. No secondary sources.

Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales": The Pardoner's Tale
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Each of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales harbors its own personality that comes through loud and clear via the teller's character. How is it that one can readily see the teller's personality through the mere words of the tale? The task is rather simple when one dissects it into smaller, more digestible pieces of the most significant characteristics, such as physical features and direct/indirect characterization. Clearly, the Pardoner is a man of the cloth whose physical features reflect a benevolence quite befitting of such a character. His hands are not especially large, however, they hold in them a great deal of responsibility, inasmuch as the task of absolution is no small act, indeed. His eyes are soulful yet sorrowing in light of the grave moral depravity he routinely witnesses; his smile is warm and inviting in spite of his intrinsic desire to frown upon humanity's impertinence. The writer discusses various characteristics of the Pardoner. No additional sources cited.
