Chaucer's Pandarus and the Sententious Friar Lawrence
- Published
- PAPA 8.2: 38-48, 1982.
- Description
- Friar Lawrence of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet echoes Pandarus of TC. As rhetors, both are fond of apothegms; dramatically, each acts as a go-between; thematically, each reflects how truth escapes human efforts to capture it in fiction.
