The Merchant&#039;s encomnium of marriage and Damain&#039;s courtly behavior are extensions of January&#039;s infantilism and the garden is a fantasy of female genitalia, reinforced by January&#039;s regressive narcissistic blindness, oral imagery in the Tale, and instances of psychoanalytic &quot;reversal.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
