Abstract:
The diploma thesis compares the life and the status of women in the late medieval society with some of the female characters from the Canterbury Tales. The author of these Tales is Geoffrey Chaucer who is often named the Father of English Poetry. Beside his life and work this diploma thesis also presents his attitude to women in his family and his view on medieval women in general. Chaucer’s view on women varied from the generally accepted opinion imposed by the ecclesiastic and didactic literature. The mentality and the values of the late medieval society were quite different from the modern society. That is why it is difficult to describe and explain the view of the world in the fourteenth century from the modern viewpoint. The diploma thesis mentions the political, religious, and social changes that occurred in the fourteenth century England. The most important events and occurrences that led England to the riots but also to the formation of national awareness are mentioned. This diploma thesis focuses on the perception of women in the late medieval society which was dominated by men. The depictions of women in the late medieval literature were often much generalized as they were presented as sinful Eves or saint Marys. Chaucer avoided this traditional perception by creating more complex female characters. The role of his female characters was more important than it was usually assigned to female characters in the late medieval literature.

Title:
Ženske iz Canterburyjskih zgodb: med svetnico in grešnico
Abstract:
Diplomsko delo primerja življenje in položaj žensk v poznosrednjeveški družbi z nekaterimi ženskimi liki iz Canterburyjskih zgodb. Omenjene zgodbe je napisal oče angleške poezije, kot pogosto imenujejo znanega poeta in dvornega uradnika Geoffreyja Chaucerja. V diplomskem delu je poleg opisa njegovega življenja in dela predstavljen tudi odnos do žensk v njegovi družini in žensk v poznosrednjeveški družbi nasploh. Chaucer je ženske dojemal drugače kot cerkvena in didaktična literatura tistega časa. Vsekakor so bile miselnost in vrednote poznosrednjeveškega človeka precej drugačne od današnjih, zato je z modernega vidika težko natančno opisati in razložiti pogled na svet v štirinajstem stoletju. Omenjene so politične, cerkvene in socialne spremembe, pred katerimi se je v štirinajstem stoletju znašla Anglija. V uvodu so našteti najpomembnejši dogodki in pojavi, ki so v Angliji vodili tako do nemirov kot tudi do oblikovanja narodne zavesti. Diplomsko delo se osredotoča na dojemanje žensk v poznosrednjeveški družbi, v kateri so dominirali moški. Opisi žensk in njihovih osebnosti so bili v literaturi pogosto preveč posplošeni, saj so bile prikazane kot grešnice Eve ali kot svetnice Marije. Chaucer se je temu izognil z oblikovanjem kompleksnejših osebnosti ženskih likov in jim obenem namenil pomembnejšo vlogo, kot so jih bili ženski liki deležni v drugi poznosrednjeveški literaturi.
