The Wife of Bath, or Cameron's new gal pal, provides us with a look at patriarchy, wifely duties, the inadequate justice system towards the upper classes, the disappearance of fairies, and saucy theory on women's wants and desires. As with all of Chaucer's Tales, the story begins with a prologue from the character's point of view and then segues into her story of a non-chivalrous knight and his wise, powerful savior. (When you begin to write, you will do the same strategy.)
Our class today was so productive with vocabulary, The Wife of Bath, allusion poster 4, and the rangefinders for Estrella's characterization. Let's see what we can do tomorrow as we discuss The Pardoner's Prologue and Tale and, hopefully, decide our characters and motivation of our pilgrimages.
