- Description
- The French story is only a part of the larger whole of the fox's adventure; the English is not, though linked thematically with the Marriage Group. Love for Pertelote makes Chauntecleer ignore his dream; in the French it is pride. Narrative intrusions in Chaucer show the teller's delight in rhetoric.
