The Clerk's Prologue and Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer
3.0
The Clerk's Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer is an odd one, to say the least. I'm not a huge fan of this tale due to the writing style and I am unsure if I will read more of his work. Though, I loved the actual narrative of this tale! However, I think the power dynamics of Walter and Griselda were displayed well in this story
Synopsis: This is one of the many tales in 'The Canterbury Classics' and tells the story of a man who marries a woman named Griselda. To test her loyalty to him, he takes away her children and says he is going to kill them. After saying he is going to annul their marriage and presents the firstborn as his wife, he reveals his actions to Griselda and they live happily.
