Özet
A PROBABLE SOURCE FOR A MARRIAGE UNDER THE COMET: THE CANTERBURY TALES
“The Miller’s Tale” and “The Wife of Bath’s Tale” from The Canterbury Tales by the fourteenth century English poet Geoffrey Chaucer and the novel entitled A Marriage Under the Comet by the twentieth century Turkish writer Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar look similar in terms of theme, characterization and plot. While the first part of the novel - which is about İrfan’s trick about the comet- harbors some common elements with the first story; the following part - that centers around the affair between İrfan and Feriha - shows some parallels with the second story. Gürpınar, who followed the foreign literatures through publications in French, must have somehow met Chaucer or the sources that inspired him.
