    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Pardoner&#039;s interruption of the WBP causes shifts in her tone and subject, but also alerts us to parallels between the two characters: wide travels, sermon-like autobiographical prologues, and tales which feature central characters who are &quot;unconscious&quot; projections of their tellers (Old Man and Loathly Lady). The two pilgrims are &quot;exemplars of &#039;cupiditas&#039;,&quot; and the Wife&#039;s sterility is evident in her distortions of orthodoxy.]]></dcterms:description>

Elaborations of the &quot;topos&quot; and the order followed are familiar from the &quot;Iliad&quot; onwards.  The &quot;Gawain&quot;-poet finally naturalized the topos, and, in Th, Chaucer effectively killed it.]]></dcterms:description>
