Man of Law notes

Hello,
Some things that we discussed in the Man of Law's Tale:

Foil characters--why the replicating mothers-in-law? How do the Syrian sections of the Tale compare with the Northumbrian ones?

Law: pay attention to the legal scene. What does this suggest about the characters in Northumbria? Why is it in this tale?

Custance: Is she too passive, or is she just saintly?

Please comment and add anything in your class notes that I've missed.
