- Description
- Reads CT as a drama-with Chaucer as "director/producer" (158) and leading player-focusing on Th and Mel as psychological and moral extensions of Chaucer. Thopas and the father are one, with Thopas representing the phallus. Melibee is "the elevated portion of the whole character-the portion dominated by the mind or soul" (149); through Mel, Chaucer seeks personal redemption. Pilgrim Chaucer is the second book in a series that began with Chaucer's Host: Up-So-Doun (SAC 22 [2000], no. 174).
