Includes examination of "hypermasculine characteristics" of characters in RvT and KnT; "[e]ffiminate characteristics" in Absolon of MilT, the Squire, and Sir Thopas; "[e]masculated and feminized characteristics in Mel; and rehabilitation and balance in the charac terizations of the rapist knight in WBT and Troilus in TC.
