- Description
- TC, KnT, and NPT are constructed on the pattern of oppositions found in Boethius' "Consolation" and the dialectic method of scholastic philosophy. At crucial points, however, Chaucer relinquishes this method and chooses one side. The pattern of oppositions is intrinsic to Chaucer's irony.
