Abstract
Prudence holds center stage in this highly moralized tale in which she corrects her impetuous husband Melibee. Biblical, classical, and medieval moralists are cited in this dialogue between husband and wife, showing Chaucer's use of his source for the tale as well as his much wider reading of such moralized tales almost suited for preaching/reflection.
