초록

The complexities of the business world and the power of money in relationships are the central themes of the Shipman’s fabliau. The tale can be seen as Chaucer’s most highly developed attempt at defining the nature of the bourgeois mercantile ethos. Money dehumanizes human relationships, such as the marital one between the merchant and his wife, as well as the friendship between the merchant and the monk. Because of money, everything, including female body and honor, is commercialized. However, The Shipman’s Tale is not simply about the evils of commercialization as practised by stereotypical, grasping merchants, considering the subtleties of Chaucer’s position at the centre of London commerce. The tale describes the process by which the circulation of a hundred franks among three people generates, as if by magic, a profit for all of them. It is the circulation of money that effects a reconciliation between the merchant and his wife.

Abstract

The complexities of the business world and the power of money in relationships are the central themes of the Shipman’s fabliau. The tale can be seen as Chaucer’s most highly developed attempt at defining the nature of the bourgeois mercantile ethos. Money dehumanizes human relationships, such as the marital one between the merchant and his wife, as well as the friendship between the merchant and the monk. Because of money, everything, including female body and honor, is commercialized. However, The Shipman’s Tale is not simply about the evils of commercialization as practised by stereotypical, grasping merchants, considering the subtleties of Chaucer’s position at the centre of London commerce. The tale describes the process by which the circulation of a hundred franks among three people generates, as if by magic, a profit for all of them. It is the circulation of money that effects a reconciliation between the merchant and his wife.
