Gender Inequality In The Wife Of Bath
I usually look at the picture in the class and the worksheet for any hint of an answer to our group work. The pictures of Queen Elizabeth help remind us that she too was once like us, young and lively. Through this, we can related to her as a young adult, rather than an old political figure we see her as today.
Similarly, literature contain many elements that we are familiar to and able to related to, yet that relations are lost in age and often overlook for more “academic” purposes. One example is The Wife of Bath prologue from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. The Wife of Bath is shown to be very outspoken about the gender inequality and it could be said that she herself is one of the earliest example of feminist. It is rather baffling for us

    The titular character in Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale” challenges medieval patriarchy in an attempt to denounce the sexist ideals at the time. However, the Wife of Bath herself is not a flawless example of feminism.…

    When studying the Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Wife of Bath’s Tale, both coming from the Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, you see a common theme of feminism. Also, you get a good sense of the of the anti feminist cultural norms and ideas regarding women in the medieval era. Alisoun, The Wife of Bath, focuses most upon the common stereotypes of women. These stereotypes include the idea that women only marry into money in order to live a lavish lifestyle off of their husband’s income as well as the belief that women will never stop talking to their husbands. Stemming from this, the common belief among men was that if you were to get married, it would ruin your chances of success later in life. The Wife of Bath opposed all of these…

    The topic that I chose was gender bias. I think this topic most closely relates with Wife of Bath's. Gender bias is the unequal treatment in employment opportunities.

    When writing, authors often know how they want to portray their characters, like if they want the person to stand for a greater meaning or to exist simply for ridicule. But some authors fall short of this mark and create wishy-washy figures that neither prove nor disprove an idea. This is the case with Chaucer and his portrayal of the Wife of Bath. The writer neither ridicules the woman for her multiple marriages nor does he use her to ridicule the gender norms of the time.…

    “The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story.” (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie) The claim that all women desire the same thing is going to stereotype a whole gender. Dennis Prager’s explores this generalization in his editorial “What do Women Want?” He bases his whole argument around one simple statement, “What a woman most wants is to be loved by a man she admires.” Prager describes the archetype of an admirable man based on the three qualities of strength, integrity, and ambition. His editorial, however accurate at some points, makes an incorrect assertion of what women really want the most. The evidence he uses to back up his argument is completely centered around men, making the assumption that women’s security lies in whether or not the man she marries is admirable. This does not take all the women who are unmarried, or do not even have an interest in men into…

    Female emancipation and the struggle for women of existing within a predominately patriarchal society is a prevalent topic in literature. Female heroines are portrayed variably across all eras and genres of literature and yet the use of a melancholic and isolated female protagonist is arguably inescapable as writers continually refer back to a critical portrayal of women in their work. From Chaucer’s presentment of the Wife of Bath as an old hag to John Donne’s plea in his poem ‘Loves Alchemy’ that one should “Hope not for mind in women”1; or one of Shakespeare’s female protagonists, Ophelia driven mad arguably due to her unrequited love for Hamlet. There is a tendency in literature, with particular reference to Shakespeare’s…

    The Wife of Bath has been described and depicted as an independent proto-feminist who long ago led the charge for sexual equality. Chaucer's visionary protagonist was a refreshing and modern look at women's rights in the fifteenth century. She spends much of her prologue breaking down stereotypical barriers that have confined women of her time to passive and subservient roles in her society. As a result, her prologue, if standing alone, can be noted as one of the great calls for female independence in historical literature. But upon viewing her works as a whole, her section of the General Prologue, her prologue and her tale, it is well noted that she strikingly contradicts her own call for equality with her story of the knight and the hag. She builds her case so strongly and defiantly in her prologue, yet subsequently demolishes her argument in her following tale. By allowing the hag to compromise her position, rewarding the knight for his chauvinist deeds and countering her own stance with several questionable details, the Wife of Bath contradicts her position for sexual equality and retards the momentum she had built in her preceding works.…

    In most medieval literature, characters are portrayed to have different views of injustice. In the story, “The Wife of Bath’s Tale,” the Wife’s views of justice and fairness can be seen in many different ways. The wife used a form of justice that was not death, and the knight payed the price for his dishonorable act by the end of the story. While telling the story, the Wife of Bath speaks as though the queen demanded justice for the knight. “He was as good as dead but that the queen, and the other ladies too, implored the king to exercise his grace,” (Chaucer, lines 68-71).…

    The romance begins with the Wife of Bath mocking friars, claiming that they are too dishonest; this satire serves as an act of vengeance because the Friar has previously interrupted her prologue. The Wife’s satire of friars manifests to Chaucer’s readers that the woman hates to be controlled by others (in the second interruption of the prologue, the Friar attempts to terminate the extensive and rambling monologue of the Wife,…

    During the Medieval Period, women just like the Wife of Bath in Chauncer’s readings were expected to act inferior to their male counterpart. The Wife of Bath’s Prologue can definitely be interpreted as an ironic illustration of this literature. I think this is an ironic illustration of this literature because the Wife of Bath represents the negative stereotypes of women in the medieval period being irrational, material, and earthly that she sought to critique.…

    There are many morals and ethical views from The Canterbury Tales that are still very much applicable to the world today. One such moral that is still valid in today’s world comes from the Wife of Bath’s tale. During her tale a similar moral kept on showing, and this was how women desired “sovereignty” over men. From the prologue it was definite that the wife of bath had experience with relation because she was married five times and she, out of all the other pilgrims, knew what made a women the most happiest. Handing a woman the dominance in a relationship would be in the best interest of the man and the relationship. Wife of Bath also had some religious views that are valid today. She believed that she had the right to marry as many time…
