Quinn reads each of the legends for "pseudo-sacrilegious" humor, considering relations to sources, rhetorical embellishments, and comic themes. He conjectures about emphases Chaucer may have employed in performance and explores the comic range of the legends, from slapstick to "smarmy cynicism."

The authenticity of Ret is generally accepted in modern criticism and the poem may reflect Chaucer's "anxiety" or an unresolved tension between his ascetic and humanistic inclinations.
