    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Patristic and scholastic writers condemn flattery as misuse of speech and an activity conducive to fraud. Chaucer&#039;s stricture on flattery initially appears comic, yet it is more direct and explicit than Langland&#039;s harsh condemnation, which Chaucer may have known. NPT, ParsT, WBT, and MerT illustrate how seriously Chaucer treats the problem of flattery.]]></dcterms:description>

Free indirect speech in the Parson&#039;s description allows the audience to suspect that he is a whitened sepulcher; the Plowman&#039;s low profile and overall silence invite us to guess his unvoiced thoughts.]]></dcterms:description>
