957.4506 The Wife of Bath: Performance and Confessions in the Prologue and the Tale.
Chaucer characterizes the Wife of Bath in two different ways. In the Prologue, she is given a common English speech with which to describe herself and her experiences. In the Tale, the wife is able to reveal her own desires in a husband, as she choose a tale that can reflect her wishes. This essay considers how the wife is characterized in the Prologue and the Tale, and then compares this with the video-documentary, Madonna: Truth or Dare. Performance and confession are represented differently, so that the public and private person can be revealed. 4 pgs. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

958.4510 Heroism and Virtue in Beowulf.
Beowulf is read here in relation to the Christian values that are discussed in the text, and the ways these are incorporated into the character of the epic hero in medieval literature. Themes of heroism are indentified in ways that complement the Christian ideals of virtue. These themes are relied upon for elaborating on Beowulf as a struggle between belief and action, where what a man believes in turn predicts how he will act. For a hero, beliefs are often conflicts of extremes and so Beowulf is an example of how the hero must find balance in his role as a hero and his life as a man. 4 pgs. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

959.4511 Virtue and Vice in Gawain and the Green Knight.
In Gawain and the Green Knight, the story of Gawain is an allegory for Christian ideals, played out in the realms of King Arthur's codes of chivalry and ideal virtue. Gawain's experiences being tested by Morgan reveal to him his weaknesses as a man, and force him to reconcile himself to the conflicts of upholding ideal values while being a less than ideal human being. This essay considers the ways Gawain's own reflections on his actions provide him with the insights to restore his honor. The essay concludes that forgiveness and humility are what redeem Gawain and enable him to act in concert with the Green Knight, and not against the Green Knight, thus rationalizing the poem's surprise ending. 5 pgs. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
