- Description
- Tallies Chaucer's techniques of characterization in TC and explores how and where he "manipulates his characters in the interest of his theme," identifying differences between his major characters (especially Troilus) and their sources in Boccaccio's "Filostrato" and explaining how Chaucer's narrator helps to shape perception of the characters and the theme of love.
