- Description
- Reads the tone and details of PrT as consistent with the characterization of the Prioress established in GP. A "ful" large woman fixated on immaturity and smallness, the Prioress admires motherhood and empathizes with the innocence of the clergeon, effectively using strong emotional appeals to evoke empathy.
