Abstract
This essay argues that the adulterous female characters in the exempla of Arthur and Gorlagon are distinguished from Guenevere in the text’s frame narrative. Arthur and Gorlagon is not wholly misogynist, but reserves contempt for female characters who express sexual desire in public spaces.
