Fortune's Chain of Love: Chaucer's Irony in Theseus' Marriage Counselling
- Published
- University of Windsor Review (Ontario) 18:1 (1984): 47-52.
- Description
- The coherence problem in KnT can be solved by viewing the tale as Boethian, but Theseus ironically perverts Boethian arguments from "De consolatione philosophiae" until those arguments contradict Boethian philosophy, typically telling a familiar story but ironically twisting the ending.
