Paper Summary:
This paper examines how, instead of proceeding along a clear plot line, or offering an argument with a logically contrasting structure of ideation, the poem proceeds instead through a series of parallel contrasts between truth and falsehood, good and evil. It explains how this phenomenon occurs internally in the "Passus" that divide the text.From the Paper:
"Different figures' successes in securing true pardons or different forms of truth and falsehood are contrasted. The pardons seem similar, yet are revealed to be fundamentally different. This phenomenon of paralleling also occurs holistically across the text. Images that occur across the different sections of "Passus" are paralleled and contrasted. These contrasts both within and without the "Passus" cumulate in Passus IIV when the true pardon of the dreamer Piers is contrasted with the false pardons that took place in the "Fields of Folk" of the poem's Prologue."More papers on "Piers Plowman":
