It is also to be noted that the way the horse is depicted in the statue--it is very

push his thoughts on feminism through her attitude and views. Throughout Canterbury Tales‚ she explains her ideas of women and how they are by telling stories of her varies marriages. She elaborates on the negative stereotypes towards women and her thoughts begin to form the idea that she is a feminist.

Some would say it is because of traumatic events‚ some say it is because of learning‚ others would
