Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales' vs. Dante's 'Divine Comedy' / Evil
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper analyzing the way evil is portrayed in The Canterbury Tales and The Divine Comedy. The paper concludes that whereas Dante sees evil as being a catastrophic impediment toward man's attainment of the divine -- and thus something to be taken very, very seriously -- Chaucer sees its human manifestations in what we would actually consider a more 'modern' sense: as irony. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
