| Abstract: | The Old Man who meekly greets the three revellers on their quest for death has been the subject of controversy over a number of years, the question being largely one of identification. Who is the Old Man and what is his exact function in the tale? In the numerous analogues compiled by Bryan and Dempster he does not make an appearance, and it is therefore assumed that he is largely Chaucer's creation. |
