- Description
- Renaissance dramatic adaptations of Chaucer's works often resolve tensions left reverberating in his narratives (e.g.,John Fletcher's "Women Pleased" and WBT; Fletcher's "Four Plays" and FranT). But Fletcher and Shakespeare's "Two Noble Kinsmen" identifies the conflict between love and friendship seen in KnT and replaces its vision of comic order with the insiduousness of mercantilism.
