- Description
- Examines the tripartite plot structure of MilT and its "two oppositional" contexts, i.e., the ethical demands of its religious allusions and the subversiveness of its fabliau genre. The combination produces a "complex event structure full of suspense" and a sense of "poetic justice" guided by reason.
