A SAMPLE COPY :
Chaucer’s art of characterization in both medieval and modern.(18)
By characterization we mean the presentation
of a man inwardly or outwardly through the instrument of language. Chaucer
is a poet who brings out the different aspects of a character through creating
images and these images are linguistic images. Like Shakespeare and Dickens,
Chaucer is also a great master of creating characters. Chaucer outlines
his thirty pilgrims in “The Prologue to the Canterbury Tales”. He is the first
great painter of characters in English Literature. He has painted the whole of
English nation during the fourteen the century, ranging from knightly class to
the order of Clergymen. The Character sketches are brief, yet lucid and
comprehensive. Both the in and out of the characters are depicted in such a
superb way that the entire personality seems moving before the reader’s eyes.
It is infect Chaucer’s unique rich and original art of characterization that
has enabled him to delineate memorable portraits. For the purpose he employs
several techniques of characterization, some of whom were popular among the
contemporaries, while the others are purely his own.
In fact “The prologue to The
Canterbury Tale” is the best example of Chaucer’s art of characterization. In
the beginning of the Prologue, Chaucer himself tells us the purpose of his
writing the prologue. This clearly shows that Chaucer wants to characterize a
person as what he or she appears to be dressed or in behavior. So the theme of
the prologue is the characterization of the pilgrims with special reference to
their status, physical appearances and personal behavior. He has drawn them so
skillfully that they become alive before our eyes. Keeping in view the range of
his characterization, Dryden remarks, “Here is God’s plenty.” Chaucer is the
most original in the series of sketches of the pilgrims in “The Prologue to the
Canterbury Tales.”Chaucer has presented his times through his characters. He is
the first great painter of the characters in English literature. Next to
Shakespeare, he is the greatest in this field.
One of the major
techniques of characterization which was current in the medieval authors was
the theory of humor. This theory divided personalities according to the
pre-dominance of one of the elements-fire, water, air and earth. For example,
his character was dominated by humor of blood, which on its turn was understood
to produce a large appetite and pleasure in physical satisfaction. Thus, the
entire portrait of the Franklin, is just an elaboration of single phrase
“Sanguine”.
"Of his complexioun he was sangwyn / Wel loved he by the morwe a sop in wyn." ( lines 335-36)
Similarly, the medieval poets usually
described their character through their physiognomy, to expose their inner
spiritual health. Chaucer has successfully employed this technique in the case
of the Summoner. His. “Fire red cherubim face”,
“Pimples”, “Narrow eyes” and “scabby black brows” reflect
his inner spiritual corruption. Description through physical features is also
employed in the case of The Wife of the Bath and The Prioress. Closely
connected with this is Chaucer’s technique of character portrait through dress.
It also help the audience in understanding, recognizing and differentiating the
pilgrims. The Prioress and the Wife of Bath’s fashionable dresses reveal their
materialism and amorous nature. Admittedly, Chaucer varies his presentation
from the full length portraits to the thumb nail sketch.
Chaucer
utilizes the technique of contrast in drawing the portraits of the pilgrims.
The good and the bad rub shoulders together. We have paragon of virtue in the
characters of the Parson and The Ploughman, we have
monsters of vice in the characters of the
Reeve,The Miller and the Summoner. The knight, is
foil to his son, the lusty Squire; the Oxford Clerk,is the very
opposite of the merrymaking Monk. In this way Chaucer distinguishes the
characters through the exhibition of dissimilar qualities.
Chaucer’s art of
characterization is free from personal bias. He portrays his characters,
objectively, impartially and disinterestedly. He depicts what he sees
personally. He has the seeing eye, the memory, the judgment to select and the
capacity to expound.
Chaucer also presents a vivid
picture of his characters by their vices and presents the fourteenth century in
“The Prologue to the Canterbury Tales”, Firstly, the prevalent corruption of the Church is
mirrored in most of his ecclesiastical figures, like The Friar, The Monk, The
Pardoner. Secondly, the greed of doctors is
typified in his Doctor of Physic, who loves gold. Thirdly his Sargeant of Law
is as shrewd hard-boiled as
other members of his profession. Fourthly, the
dishonesty of the Reeve and the Miller is also typical.
Finally, their traditional enmity is
reflected between the Reeve and the Miller. This technique enriches his art of
characterization
Chaucer’s
characters are types as well as individuals: they are the symbols of some
particular class, age group, or profession, but they also have their own
peculiar traits, their own idiosyncrasies, their own ways of talking and doing
things. Each of the twenty-nine pilgrims in the Prologue is morally and
socially representative, but he is also an individual with marked peculiarities
of his own. For example, his Knight is a typical Knight of his age representing
the fast fading chivalry of the middle ages. But he is also an individual who,
for his personal qualities, had been honoured in foreign lands above all other
knights and who had been the guest of honour at many a feast. His son, the
young Squire, represents the jollity of youth as well as the spirit of the
rising chivalry of the times. He is not, like his father, interested so much in
war and adventure as in singing and dancing and Jove-making. He is also an
individual, who has a fondness for bright colours and fine apparel,
Embrouded was he,as it were a meede
Al ful of fresshe floures, wyite and reede;
To sum up, it can be accepted that CHAUCER's art of characterization is the picture gallery of the 14th century and he is the first great painter of characters in English Literature. Therefore, two conclusions may be drawn from the above discussion of Chaucer’s art of Characterization. Firstly, his world of man is varied and wide. In the words of DRYDEN:
Embrouded was he,as it were a meede
Al ful of fresshe floures, wyite and reede;
To sum up, it can be accepted that CHAUCER's art of characterization is the picture gallery of the 14th century and he is the first great painter of characters in English Literature. Therefore, two conclusions may be drawn from the above discussion of Chaucer’s art of Characterization. Firstly, his world of man is varied and wide. In the words of DRYDEN:
“There
is God’s plenty.”
And secondly, it is through
the depiction of his characters, CHAUCER has managed to give an
expression to his vision of life which is both joyous and realistic. In
fact, in many respects his characters are like human beings because they
possess universal human traits, therefore, appeal to the modern reader though
they belong to the medieval age.
Moreover, his character is
three dimensional: having length, breadth and depth. He gradually unfolds his
characters giving us a clear image of their personalities and making the
gradual revelation quite interesting. He is, perhaps, warmed by people who live
fully and share their lives with others people who are richly human even if
they are flawed. In short, Chaucer’s success in the character delineation lies
in the versatility of his characters, objectively of his style, immensely sharp
and receptive mind and above all the comprehension of human nature in all its
complexities.
