Canterbury tales wife of bath text analysis worksheet answer

Answer and Explanation:

When analyzing "Wife of bath" we must start with the premise that she starts the story by showing her sexual freedom and how female sexual freedom is important to maintain a happy marriage. This is because, according to the storyteller, women's freedom allows them to control their husbands and from the moment the husband is controlled, the marriage becomes happy.

The wife of bath is also in favor of sexual experience m stating that the Bible does not force virginity and that important biblical figures had many women, which makes it entirely possible for some women to be experienced with men. What is really important to her is that a marriage is based on the loyalty of both parties.

To reinforce this concept, she tells the story of the Arthurian knight who, after deflowering a maiden, is forced to discover what women most desire in the world. This story addresses all the points made by her previously and offers concise arguments that she is correct.
