- Description
- The dissonant echoes within and between Chauntecleer's dream narrative and the subsequent disputatio prevent any clear idea of the veracity of the dream's apparently prophetic nature. In the confrontation between the cock and the fox, the dogmatism of the characters makes mutual understanding impossible. NPT throws light on Chaucer's humanistic viewpoint, revealed here as a belief in human free will.
