... Wednesday, 12 March 2003 Jad Salfiti A2 English Literature, Poetry: The Merchant's Tale "In The Merchant's Prologue and Tale Chaucer presents a world dominated by money and possessions" to what extent do you agree? Money and possessions are continually resurfacing themes in The Merchant's Prologue and Tale. The Merchant's Tale has a subtle mind behind the narration, as an audience we are never sure whether the tale is being narrated by the Merchant or Chaucer himself. In the general Prologue the portrait of the merchant is unfavourable; the Merchant an ignorant, misogyist who is obsessed with money and financial gain, his insensitivity in this regard permeates the tale in his belief that everything has a price tag tied around its neck. Januarie's reasons for marriage are entirely self-serving; concern for his soul and a desire for a youg, beautiful wife who will satisfy his needs with minimum maintenance, both achieved in one fell swoop. Januarie
