The Canterbury Tales
What passage would best relate to the Wife's characteristics in the Wife's bath?
The question is regarding the Wife's bath tale
The question is regarding the Wife's bath tale
"And somme seyen, how that we loven best
For to be free, and do right as us lest,
And that no man repreve us of oure vice,
But seye that we be wise, and nothyng nyce."
I think this relates to a constant theme of freedom in The Wife of Bath's tale. She voices a sense of feminism quite unheard of at the time. She doesn't think moral codes created by men should be forced upon women.
