Chaucer’s character‚ the Wife of Bath‚ grabs the reader’s attention immediately as she sets the stage for giving an account of her beliefs on love and life: “Housbondes at chirche dore I have had five.” Because of her blunt honesty at the very beginning of her Prologue‚ the reader senses that the Wife of Bath feels no shame and carries no regrets about her many marriages.
