- Description
- The Man of Law, in the telling of his tale, wants to present himself as a fount of knowledge. In Part I he frequently interrupts the narrative to voice his own comments. In Part II, as the power of God manifests itself in the trial scene,the interruptions become fewer and shorter. By the end of Part III, the tale has such an effect on him that he is a changed man.
