- Description
- Argues that the Man of Law depicts himself as a traditionalist in law. Through his presentation in GP, his conversation with the Host, and his Tale, the Man of Law separates himself from negative views of lawyers in the wake of the 1381 Rising. In claiming that he will give a tale in prose, he refers to the veracity of his story rather than its form.
