- Published
- ChauR 36 : 311-28, 2002.
- Description
- Although critics often criticize the monk and wife of ShT for their lack of morals, the merchant's own dealings are not without blame. His bill of exchange may be illegal, and it parallels the arrangement between monk and wife. All three characters seek profit and undermine the "common good."
