- Description
- Fulwiler looks at how "Babe" and NPT use the genre of animal fable and prosopopoeia to create moral tales. Sentence and solaas combine in "Babe," as in Chaucer, to intrigue the audience into deeper exploration of the story. Via structure, setting, characterization, and typology, "Babe" and Chaucer exhibit a world where both humans and animals are capable of Christian goodness.
