Chaucer's 'Clerk's Tale': A Disrupted Exemplum
- Published
- Journal of English Language and Literature (Korea) 40 (1994): 643-55
- Description
- Chaucer's sympathy toward women is questionable, given the context of ClT and Walter's dominance over Griselda.
- This uncertainty is perpetuated by the double narrative of CT, which presents the "Tale" through the voice of a fictional storyteller as well as the voice of the author.
- It is difficult to realize Chaucer's view on feminism since he allows Griselda to maintain her identity while placing her in a submissive and passive role.
