The institution of marriage has always been considered a lifelong bond that should never be broken. Additionally, there are some general vows that each party usually takes: to be faithful, obedient, and loving. For years, this verbal agreement was enough to keep even the most difficult marriages together for a long time. Enter the Wife of Bath, the opposite of the medieval woman. She was loud, brash, and deceptive, which made her the least likely person to marry. However, she ended up marrying five men. In general, these marriages contrast with everything about the aforementioned vows, and we soon realize that the Wife of Bath is no ordinary housewife. The Wife of Bath (Allison) wants to start by saying that the Church's view of marriage is skewed. His argument is that Jesus only went to one wedding, so people implied that they were only supposed to get married once. To strengthen her argument, she mentions that Abraham, Jacob and Solomon had several wives; In fact, Solomon had hundreds of wives, while Abraham and Jacob had two each. The Wife of Bath then states that she is not perfect in comparison to Christ, thus justifying her prerogative to marry more than once. The Wife of Bath provides insight into a semi-independent, hardworking woman of the Middle Ages. She is semi-independent because she depends on her husband for her material goods. The institution of marriage turns out to have little to do with love, and a lot to do with getting what you want or sexual gratification. She showed us a rare glimpse of a woman in a position of authority in medieval society. She used sex to get what she wanted from her husband, which allowed her to master the art of sexual manipulation. She presents herself as someone who craves sex and sees marriage as a way to experience the finer things in life. To make matters worse, she loves being an instigator and pushing her husband's buttons. In the era of Wife of Bath, a woman's job was simply to marry and manage the household and children. The Wife of Bath was not a typical “desperate housewife” of the Middle Ages. Her stubborn and stubborn character gave her the strength to wage war against women's struggle and fight against unfair criticism of them. She fought against taboos of female sexuality by being openly promiscuous.
