Boethius, Philosophy and Chaucer's 'Marriage Group'
- Published
- Carmina Philosophiae 4 (1995): 77-88.
- Description
- With the exception of Dorigen, the women in the Marriage Group (WBPT, ClT, MerT, FranT) are similar to Boethius's character Philosophy: they assume authoritative roles, echo some of her sentiments, and sometimes recall her voice. Dorigen's behavior is more similar to that of the character Boethius in the Consolation of Philosophy.
