Because Chaucer&#039;s viewed character as performative role-playing (especially in CT and TC), he casts human life as a &quot;series of overlapping games,&quot; blurring the &quot;boundary&quot; between literature and life, and complicating the static view of humanity that underlies Arnold&#039;s notions of tragedy and epic.]]></dcterms:description>
