- Description
- In TC, "Chaucer explores the cultural function of counsel as a key mode of power distribution in chivalric society," examining Pandarus's advice, Criseyde's impersonations of him, and parallels between personal counsel and the Trojan Parliament.
- In both TC and CT, Chaucer depicts the effects of male counsel on female agency, showing that both Criseyde and the Wife of Bath attempt to appropriate traditional discourse of counsel.
