- Description
- Argues that reading "panne" at the end of FrT as clothing rather than cooking utensil closely links the Wife and her tale with that of the Friar. Connects the Friar's criticisms of the Wife and her desires with the depiction of the faithful widow whose clothing the Friar's summoner covets.
