- Description
- Because the description of Sir Thopas underscores his artificiality and contains references to puppetry, the knight may be viewed as a puppet of Chaucer-Pilgrim, himself a puppet manipulated by Chaucer-Poet. This metaphor clarifies the operation of multiple Chaucerian selves and suggest Chaucer's sombre view of fate
