    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Aurelius usurps and reinterprets Dorigen&#039;s speech.  Through such devices, Chaucer subtly makes listeners and readers aware that what may appear to be real, whether concrete or ideological, may be illusion.  The Franklin&#039;s intent is to assert his social equality with other travelres rather than to address issues of chastity, honor, and virtue.]]></dcterms:description>

Chaucer shows that &quot;act, speech, and writing, when captured by image, text, and imagination, preserve love beyond its transitory moment of existence&quot; (50).
