        <description><![CDATA[Dorigen is presented by the Franklin in The Franklin's Tale as having every beauty, grace, charm, kindness and virtue. Dorigen is also presented as being particular, logical and goodhearted. The knight Arveragus has to work very hard to try to convince her of his worthiness and win her love. When he offers to make her his equal, except in name to uphold his high position, she understands the great significance of his offer and promises in...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The classic master's painting technique was to use seven layers and to let each layer dry for seven weeks. Additionally, Da Vinci painted from the muscle upward, which wasn't part of traditional technique. The combination of these two techniques captured the variation of life, especially in the Mona Lisa, because sittings spanned a surprising stretch of time and life's fluctuation of ups and downs, joys and sorrows was apparent in the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In The General Prologue of The Canterbury Tales, the narrator gives a very long description of the Doctour of Phisik's (Doctor of Medicine's) credentials and accomplishments but gives only a brief physical description. No mode of transportation is mentioned nor any weapons or other accouterments. All we know of the Doctor is that his clothing is of blue and scarlet and lined with taffeta and sendal. Taffeta is a delicate, crisp silk fabric...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As her title proclaims, The Wife of Bath was a wife. Along with this she is a maker of cloth, an adventursome traveler and a wealthy widow from having handled four out of five husbands well. There was much theological discussion in the latter half of the 14th century about the role and place of wives in a Catholic society. The doctrine was that wives were truly the daughters of Eve and, as such, were out to undermine their husbands in any way...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[We aren't told directly whey the monk is on the trip.  He manages the Prioress's estate so, since she is on the trip accompanied by some other priests and nuns, he is part of that entourage.  His real reason for going, however, is probably for the adventure and perhaps the chance to do some hunting.  We are told in the GP that the monk likes to hunt and devotes more time and energy to that undertaking than he does to his religious duties. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The three drunkards are really very rude to the old man. He greets them very politely, but one of the drunkards responded rudely and asked him why he was still alive - as he was so old, he should be dead.
The old man responds to this rudeness by saying that he does not think it appropriate to speak to an old man like that, as well as adding that he would love to die - he keeps knocking on the door of death, he says, but it will not open for...]]></description>
