Based on "The Wife of Bath's Tale," is the Wife of Bath a modern women? How well would she fit in twenty-first century America? Do her views of the role of women in society match those of most women today? How would today's men regard her views? In an essay, explore these questions. Give at least two examples from "The Wife of Bath's Tale" to support your opinions.

Most students will agree that the Wife of Bath shares some of the convictions of twenty-first century women but may not have quite the same views. According to her story, what women want most is to rule their husbands. In return, she implies that women should be willing to do anything to satisfy their husbands. Many modern women might say they do not want to control their husbands but to have equality with them. They might also argue that they prefer having their husband's respect rather than trying to satisfy their husbands' every wish. Men, of course, would generally object to allowing themselves to be ruled by their wives, but they would also appreciate having beautiful and faithful wives who were willing to do anything to make them happy.

In "The Pardoner's Tale," the Pardoner says that he uses this story of the three rioters to get his congregation to give him their money. In an essay, explain how this process works. Why do his parishioners give him money? How does this story help the Pardoner achieve his goal? Use information from "The Pardoner's Tale" to help you in your response.

Students should include that the Pardoner's job is to preach to his congregation about sin and to get them to ask for a pardon. The Pardoner can offer parishioners a pardon, which means their sins are forgiven, but he only offers the pardon if they pay him a fee. By teaching a lesson about how the love of money is the root of all evil, he reminds his listeners about the evil things they have done for money. To get forgiveness, they pay him their ill-gotten money to receive a pardon.

56. What is the moral message that the allegory of "The Pardoner's Tale" coveys? In a brief essay, state the moral message of the tale. Then use information from "The Pardoner's Tale" to show how several details work together to help build the message.

Students should recognize that the message is "Love of money is the root of all evil" and that the three rioters die because they greedily try to kill one another to get a larger share of gold. Students may explore the symbolic meanings of characters like Death and may recognize that the rioters themselves represent not merely greed but also disloyalty and treachery.

Hrothgar

The king of the Danes. He enjoys military success and prosperity until Grendel terrorizes his realm. A wise and aged ruler, he represents a different kind of leadership from that exhibited by the youthful warrior Beowulf. He is a father figure to Beowulf and a model for the kind of king that Beowulf becomes.

Oberon

The king of the fairies, he is initially at odds with his wife, Titania, because she refuses to relinquish control of a young Indian prince whom he wants for a knight. His desire for revenge on Titania leads him to send Puck to obtain the love-potion flower that creates so much of the play's confusion.

Which of these vocabulary words is incorrectly used?

The knight rebuked his wife for her help and relied on her judgment in all things.

According to "The Wife of Bath's Tale," near the end of the story, the knight correctly answers the queen's question. Why does the old woman suddenly leap up and claim her reward in front of the queen?

The man is directing the three rioters toward their own deaths.

Gulliver

The narrator and protagonist of the story. Although his vivid and detailed style of narration makes it clear that he is intelligent and well educated, his perceptions are naïve and gullible. He never thinks that the absurdities he encounters are funny and never makes the satiric connections between the lands he visits and his own home. His naïveté makes the satire possible, as we pick up on things that he does not notice.

How does the wife and Midas differ from the original story?

The original story is told by a barber. In this story a woman is telling the story.

Bottom

The overconfident weaver chosen to play Pyramus in the craftsmen's play for Theseus's marriage celebration.

His simultaneous nonchalance about the beautiful Titania's sudden love for him and unawareness of the fact that Puck has transformed his head into that of an ass mark the pinnacle of his foolish arrogance.

Explain the importance of the prologue.

The prologue sets the stage in purposes where the story is going.

Beowulf

The protagonist of the epic, he is a Geatish hero who fights the monster Grendel, Grendel's mother, and a fire-breathing dragon. His boasts and encounters reveal him to be the strongest, ablest warrior around. In his youth, he personifies all of the best values of the heroic culture. In his old age, he proves a wise and effective ruler.

the Emperor

The ruler of Lilliput. Like all Lilliputians, he is fewer than six inches tall. His power and majesty impress Gulliver deeply. Because of his tiny size, his belief that he can control Gulliver seems silly, but his willingness to execute his subjects for minor reasons of politics or honor gives him a frightening aspect. He is proud but he is also quite hospitable, spending a fortune on his captive's food. The emperor is both a satire of the autocratic ruler and a strangely serious portrait of political power.

Beow

The second king listed in the genealogy of Danish rulers with which the poem begins. He is the son of Shield Sheafson and father of Halfdane. The narrator presents him as a gift from God to a people in need of a leader. He exemplifies the maxim, "Behavior that's admired / is the path to power among people everywhere" (24-25).

In "The Prologue" of The Canterbury Tales, the narrator gives some background about the Wife of Bath.

In an essay, explain how his description is consistent with the story she tells in "The Wife of Bath's Tale." Do you think the theme is one she would have a strong opinion about? Why? Give reasons and examples from the text to support your ideas.

The tale told by the Wife of Bath is consistent with the background given about her in the Prologue. She is a wife with lots of experience with marriage and husbands, as well as with other men during her youth. She has the experience to talk about what women really want out of a marriage and how they are treated by men. She certainly would have a strong opinion about the relationship between husbands and wives.
