    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Positioned midway between aristocracy and the lower orders of society, the Franklin appropriately tells a story that emphasizes the necessity and correctness of the social order as he (and Chaucer) would have understood it. Thus, the Arveragus-Dorigen-Aurelius triangle must be resolved by mutual compromise, and in the case of Arveragus, by severe self-sacrifice that &quot;puts the good of the beloved before one&#039;s own good&quot; (220).]]></dcterms:description>

The links present reality as it is immediately perceived:  chaotic but vital.  The tales present reality as it is formally comprehended:  orderly but remote.]]></dcterms:description>

Notes the difficulty of teaching theological modes of inquiry through Chaucer when few students have knowledge of basic Christian theological concepts.
