- Description
- In the Noah's Flood motif of MilT, the audience delightedly and ruefully recognizes the consequences of the perversion of God's order. In addition to visual or other sensory images (the runaway mare in RvT) Chaucer employs also dramatic icons, as in ShT, a "parodic enactment of Christ's Resurrection appearance to Mary Magdalen."
