Brewers tale

Chaucer's characters each express different—sometimes vastly different—views of reality, creating an atmosphere of relativism. As Helen Cooper says, "Different genres give different readings of the world: the fabliau scarcely notices the operations of God, the saint's life focuses on those at the expense of physical reality, tracts and sermons insist on prudential or orthodox morality, romances privilege human emotion." The sheer number of varying persons and stories renders the Tales as a set unable to arrive at any definite truth or reality. Jan Verwoert and the non redemtive collection dream catcher and ghostbuster trap - Waiting outside myself in the snow perchance to share my hearth, I'll put periods on my sentence.
