- Description
- Chaucer's male narrators and characters are obsessed with ideas of linear/finite time, progression, arrival, and teleology. His female characters either silently subscribe to the male obsession or are dominated by cyclical/monumental and transcendent time. The Wife of Bath is the antithesis of the allegorical figure of Temperantia.
