Description
Discusses the "amatory fatalism" of KnT as Chaucer's means to explore "problems of chance, destiny, and Providence." Somewhat different from TC in this regard, KnT poses love as analogous to fate. Chaucer uses the analogy to focus on human perception of experience as well as on the order that frames it.

Chaucer Subjects
Knight and His Tale.
Troilus and Criseyde.
