Random information on the term “WIFE”:
“The Wife of Bath’s Tale” (Middle English: The Tale of the Wyf of Bathe) is among the best-known of Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. It provides insight into the role of women in the Late Middle Ages and was probably of interest to Chaucer himself, for the character is one of his most developed ones, with her Prologue twice as long as her Tale. He also goes so far as to describe two sets of clothing for her in his General Prologue. She holds her own among the bickering pilgrims, and evidence in the manuscripts suggests that although she was first assigned a different, plainer tale—perhaps the one told by the Shipman—she received her present tale as her significance increased.[citation needed] She calls herself both Alyson and Alys in the prologue, but to confuse matters these are also the names of her ‘gossib’ (a close friend or gossip), whom she mentions several times, as well as many female characters throughout The Canterbury Tales.
Geoffrey Chaucer wrote the “Prologue of the Wife of Bath’s Tale” during the fourteenth century at a time when the social structure was rapidly evolving during the reign of Richard II; it was not until the late 1380s to mid-1390s when Richard’s subjects started to take notice of the way in which he was leaning toward bad counsel, causing criticism throughout his court. It was evident that changes needed to be made within the traditional hierarchy at the court of Richard II; feminist reading of the tale argues that Chaucer chose to address through “The Prologue of the Wife of Bath’s Tale” the change in mores that he had noticed, in order to highlight the imbalance of power within a male-dominated society. Women were identified not by their social status and occupations, but solely by their relations with men: a woman was defined as either a maiden, a spouse or a widow – capable only of child-bearing, cooking and other “women’s work”.
