Friday Class Discussion

Food for thought:

How does the Tale of the Wife of Bath connect to her message in her prologue?

How does the Tale connect to the portrait of the Wife in the General Prologue?

How might her story be a type of wish-fulfillment for the aging?

How does the Hag's transformation externally match or mirror an internal transformation of the rapist knight who earlier gave no respect to women's wishes?
