Description
The actions of Griselda, heroine of The Clerk's Tale, Chaucer's study of humanly and womanly forbearance, are mirrored throughout the classical wisdom of Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy. The medieval tale's story is one of rational resistance to domination, even to that of a powerful and jealous husband. Griselda's ensuing struggle for self-liberation and "free will," by "looking within," echoes the neoplatonic and Boethian universal scheme: mutability transcends all Fortune. Griselda finally arrives at knowing her own true nature, and the workings of Divine Providence.
