"Gawain and the Greek Knight"/"Wife of Bath's Tale"
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay that contrasts and compares these two tales. The Middle Ages are generally not associated with humor, as the medieval era brings to mind in the public consciousness, the terror of the Black Plague, the Inquisition, and incessant warfare. However, two tales from the late thirteenth century, "Sir Gawain and the Greek Knight," author unknown, and "The Wife of Bath' Tale" by Geoffrey Chaucer offer modern readers insight into the worldview of this period and demonstrate the considerable humor and irony that characterizes medieval English society.

"Lysistrata" And "The Wife Of Bath" – Sex As Power In A Relationship
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Throughout history, women have had one – and only one – trump card to play in an otherwise patriarchal society. The female gender has routinely been oppressed, degraded and made to feel less than a human being all in keeping with the heavy-handed tactics of a male-oriented existence. With nothing else to use as a weapon against such inhumane treatment, women have long withheld sex as a means by which to get their counterparts' attention; nowhere is this more evident than in such early works as "Lysistrata" and "The Wife of Bath." Bibliography lists 4 sources.
