- Description
- The divergence of critical opinion about MerT attests to Chaucer's success in prompting multiple responses to his text and in allowing no definitive reading. In the tale, "the narrator/narratee relationships are reflected in a multiplicity of increasingly imperfect and blurring images which destabilize the author/text/audience relationship."
