The One and Only Wife of BathIn the Canterbury Tales, Chaucer uses The Wife of Bath as a representation of what it was like for women in the Middle Ages to be deprived of equality. and bow to an otherwise male-dominated society. For the representation of women, Chaucer uses the Tales of “The Scholar”, “The Second Nun”, “The Prefect” and “The Franklin” and many others in a very dry and pretentious way to lead the readers to understand how a woman from the Middle Ages should be like a wife or a so-called “virtuous” woman. The concept of marriage plays a major role in manifesting the idea of ​​women's inferiority problems. The perception is that women must be obedient and inferior to their husbands or male counterparts. Chaucer gives the audience a lot to think about when it comes to The Wife of Baths, given that she is the complete opposite of the women of her time. Baths' wife can be seen as a mother figure who threatens to break down the societal system by reinforcing the status of women. In the Wife of Bath's prologue, her true colors are revealed, which gives the reader an idea of ​​who the Wife of Bath is. is and where his mind stands in terms of gender inequality. His prologue also charts the course for the direction his story will take. The Wife of Bath makes it clear that more than anyone else, she is the one who has experience in the marriage business. From her tone, we can see that she is a woman with a desire for authority. The Wife's Prologue is the framework for making distinctions about all the issues facing medieval women and, indeed, with its copious and well-defined detail, she remains an unforgettable icon of the Canterbury Tales. It is suspected that the Wife of Bath feels strongly about this notion... middle of paper ... society was not ready to put a woman in control of a marriage, which is why Dorigen's husband was forced to do so. Keep the matter a secret, but he's closer to being as modern as the Wife of Bath than Griselda's husband, the Scholar. This complements Chaucer's modernist way of thinking in terms of women and their roles. Although The Wife of Bath is slightly flawed as it shows the disconnect between women, society and Christianity. The Wife of Bath cannot obtain the approval of society because she is a woman and she cannot obtain the enlightenment of a church because she is an impure woman married to five different husbands. It is clear that women in Chaucer's society have no power unless they challenge the system, including the church. otherwise there is no liberation. Chaucer understood this well and blessed literature with the one and only heroine, the Wife of Bath..
