- Description
- The story of Constance is not especially appropriate to the Man of Law. Chaucer was attracted to it because it is a good piece of fiction and because it gave him the perfect opportunity to set forth and justify his belief in astrology. The story illustrates perfectly how a Christian could believe in astrology and not be a complete determinist.
