Cupid's Sight in the Prologue to the 'Legend of Good Women'
- Published
- Centerpoint 4 (1981): 95-102.
- Description
- Implications of clear-sighted love in the Middle Ages lead one to view Cupid in Chaucer's LGW as a symbol of marital, generative love. But because this Cupid is indiscriminate in love (being in favor of it, without regard to circumstances), it is clear that the Narrator in the garden is not a reliable spokesman for good women.
