- Description
- Compares and contrasts the GP descriptions of the Prioress and the Second Nun and the style and details of PrPT and the SNPT. Argues that genuine humility and "restraint" evokes "the truer religious character" of the Second Nun, casting into relief the ironies and "vehemence" of the Prioress as well as her "worldliness, her vanity, and her insincerity."
