Chaucer: Compassionate towards Human Frailty?
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length.
The question we shall seek to answer herein is whether Chaucer
was tolerant of human frailty. By examining several of his works
in general, it is easy to see that Chaucer not only was not
tolerant of human shortcomings, but he actually preyed upon them,
making light of them in his works. He played up the image of man
as a bumbling fool, and the tragedy and trouble that many took
upon himself foolishly. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Chaucer’s Tales of Life, Humor, and Love
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses a number of
Geoffrey Chaucer’s stories in The Canterbury Tales. Numerous examples of satire exist
throughout Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. In fact, each of the tales and each
of the characters offers some form of a parody regarding the personalities and human
interactions that Chaucer observed around him. One of his favorite things to observe and
comment on through the Tales is the relationships that exist between people, especially in
terms of the intimacy that exists between a man and a woman or between the most manly
but very best of male friends. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
This 14 page report with a sentence outline of its points discusses “The
Knight’s Tale” of Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales” and the subject of courtly love. Chaucer’s nderstanding of society as a divinely ordained hierarchy is often a stumbling point for
the reader in understanding the deeper connections and interpretations of the characters who populate Chaucer’s work.
However, in “The Knight’s Tale,” the reader understands that chivalry and courtly love are the ultimate experiences to which a nobleman can (or should) aspire. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Robertson saw Chaucer’s work as allegory reflecting Christian beliefs while Donaldson interpreted him as a comic writer with a remarkable eye for detail and skill in language. “The Miller’s Tale” is considered as an example that proves the “Donaldsonian” point of view.
