- Description
- An "ideological approach" to TC demands the appropriation of discordant elements by a single dominant principle; a rhetorical analysis of the ending of TC, when combined with structuralist categories, suggests that Chaucer engaged in a multiple defamiliarization. This invites active, interpretative response from the audience, rather than simple assent or passive reception.
