The Wife Of Bath In The Cantebury Tales

189 Words1 Page

Many women in The Canterbury Tales appear to be beautiful, pretty, and sweet. They do not reflect the true mindset of 14th century European women. Women were known for not being successful as their husbands, but not in the case of The Wife of Bath. She is able to become a successful merchant as we learn in her prologue. This already makes her a definable character who represents feminism ideals because she was able to do something that most women are not known to do which is sell and earn a living from it. Not only successful as a merchant but as a wife as well. She not afraid of letting the other pilgrimages in The Cantebury Tales know that she had to get married more than one time.

    In his work, The General Prologue and The Wife of Bath’s Tale, The Wife of Bath is utilized to defy a patriarchal society and ownership, but still reinforces the idea of the male’s reduction to body/appearance in women. When looking at these attributes through a Feminist Theory Lens, there is a lot of material to be interpreted and distinguished. Chaucer’s work was believed to be written in 1386, a time where the world fell into a large patriarchal society. Men were believed to be in control and women were simply seen as subordinates.

Yet, the King allowed the Queen to choose the consequences that the knight will suffer.

  • Gender Roles In The Wife Of Bath

    In the combined research done between researchers at New York University and Columbia University, it was fond that when women achieve successes in the work place, “the self-assertive and tough, achievement-oriented, agentic behaviors for which men are so positively valued are typically prohibited for women” (Heilman et al 417). Although the NYU and Columbia scholars conducted this research in the twenty-first century, many centuries later than Chaucer’s writing of the Wife of Bath’s Tale, this research is relevant to both time periods. When the old woman was successful in both her knowledge and her ability to get what she wanted from the knight, the knight felt threatened by those successes. He is so threatened by these successes that he does everything in his power to get out of having to become physically close ther. The knight tells his wife that he does not want to have sexual relations with her because she is “so loothly, and so oold also,/

    The Wife of Bath: An Analysis of Her Life and Her Tale The Wife of Bath’s Prologue stays consistent with the facts that experience is better than the societal norms, specifically those instilled by the church leadership. Chaucer uses the Wife of Bath to display the insanity of the church, but through switching and amplifying their view of men and chastity onto the opposite gender. The church doctrine at the time held celibacy in an idolized manner, forgetting the inability for humans to ever reach perfection, or live up to this standard. They also did not hold women in a high regard at all, again this is where Chaucer flips the role, as the Wife of Bath describes her five marriages in her prologue, essentially describing each as a conquest, where the result is her having all control.

  • Compare And Contrast The Wife Of Bath's Tale

    399 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Wife of Bath and her tale are the most similar out of all the tales because they both share a domineering outlook over others. In the general prologue she is told to have had five husbands and is described as a looker, “Her face was bold and handsome and ruddy,” (Chaucer 39). In her prologue she goes more in depth of her time spent with her five husbands. Wife of Bath talks most about how she gains control over her husbands. For instance, her fifth husband was the controlling force in their marriage until he made the mistake of hitting her and telling her he would do anything to keep her with him and said, “My own true wife, do as you wish for the rest of your life…” (335).

    While reading in the prologue to The Wife of Bath’s Tale, during the times when I am able to read the story fluently and without having to divert my attention to overcome the difference in spelling, grammar, language, etc., I do find aspects of Alison’s nature amusing. Her quick to judge mentality and solid beliefs are explained to all in such a remarkably unapologetic way, even when her actions or thoughts appear to be questionable, that she often comes across as ludicrously self righteous. Quite proud of her marital manipulation, or more specifically, her manipulation of all men, it is clear she relishes divulging all of her conniving stunts, as if each form of misery she inflicts upon her husband is a trophy worth taking down at any

Nevertheless, she still remains one of the characters closest to being a proto-feminist in medieval literature, especially when written by a male author. One can then argue that the Wife of Bath is a problematic and paradoxical protofeminist figure, who through her discourse shows the limits and restrictions imposed by a medieval misogynist society on
