    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Illustrates Chaucer&#039;s &quot;comic misapplication&quot; of &quot;monitory elements&quot; as a device of characterization in CT, discussing how the misapplied expressions of traditional wisdom can be used cleverly (as with Nicholas in MilT), foolishly (John in MilT and January in MerT), cynically (the friar in SumT), etc. At times, the issue of intention complicates the characterization (Wife of Bath); at others, effort to impress is involved (Chaunticler in NPT). Generally, Chaucer exploited the &quot;comic contradiction&quot; between the potential for wisdom in pithy sayings and its ironic undercutting when misapplied or manipulated.
