Characterization of Chaucer’s “The Wife of Bath” from “The Canterbury Tales”: Elements Found in the General Prologue, Prologue and Tales
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing the characterization and the portrait of “The Wife of Bath” in The Canterbury Tales. Geoffrey Chaucer’s characterization of “The Wife of Bath” in “The Canterbury Tales” begins by her elaborate description in the General Prologue which is further detailed in her Prologue, considered the longest of all the Prologues, and her Tale. The Wife of Bath, in a company of men, does not present an image of an isolated woman of the 14th century. Instead, the Wife of Bath is well traveled, well experienced in marriage having been married and widowed five times and very well practiced in her social skills and ease with other travelers. The Wife of Bath presents a 14th century feminist view within her Prologue and Tale in which she satirizes her situation and the Church in many instances. Her characterization, Prologue and Tale are well linked and framed within the rest of the Canterbury Tales as Chaucer manages to incorporate not only the pilgrims’ common situation in telling the tales but also the obvious offence each tale gives to another of the pilgrims’: an artful strategy of linking which no doubt reflects well the circumstances of the time.
