- Description
- Explicates the unity or the "designed togetherness" of GP, focusing on various pairings and oppositions as they evoke and engage varieties of love (heavenly and worldly in the Prioress), mature and youthful (Knight and Squire), clerical and secular (Parson and Plowman), justice and forgiveness (ironically, in the Summoner and Pardoner), and, overall, the restorative power of physical and spiritual pilgrimage.
