Description
ParsT critiques both the tales in CT and life, as well as concluding CT.
The tales and the Parson's meditation work together in a "problem-solution relationship."
The tales present betrayals and sins through a variety of voices and genres, while ParsT creates a new tone to remedy and exonerate the betrayals in the tales and in life.
