- Description
- Intertextual relationships among MerT, SqT, and FranT indicate differing attitudes toward perception, loyalty, and treason, particularly focused in the depictions of squires. Chaucer's Squire condescends to the lower classes and their ignorance of romance and Arthurian tradition, whereas the Franklin cautions his young social superior to seek a more chivalric outlook.
