THE MORAL ISSUES IN BOOKS 4 AND 5 OF PIERS PLOWMAN

     Please read Books IV and V and think about how the moral issues
raised in these (and earlier) books are posed within the book, then
receive a resolution of sorts at the end of each book, only to be
posed again in different terms in the next book. 

     Is Langland saying that there are well-known, traditional answers
to the moral questions he poses? Is he saying that these answers,
though they are all that exist, are not sufficient? Is he saying
that these sufficient answers are accepted less and less? 

     Pick one or two examples of these moral issues and examine how
they are resolved; and how they remain UNresolved. "Lady Fee" is one
example; can you find others?
