Title
What of Dorigen? Agency and Ambivalence in the 'Franklin's Tale'

Published
Chaucer Review 31 (1997): 365-78.

Description
Although the initial description of the egalitarian marriage in FranT seems to open liberating possibilities for Dorigen,the ultimate concern is which man is most "fre." Dorigen's actions and intentions have been lost in the insistence of Arveragus and Aurelius to view her in terms of male sacrifice.

Chaucer Subjects
Franklin and His Tale.
