ESSAY ON: Wife of Bath’s Tale and Wedding of Sir Gawain

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: A 5 page essay that contrasts the “Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale” and “The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnell,” which is “one of the most popular stories of late medieval England” (Hahn). Both tales concern a “loathly lady” who transforms into a beautiful, young woman when her husband grants her sovereignty over him. However, despite similarities, Chaucer’s tale is quite different in that it conveys a distinctly feminine tone that reflects his detailed characterization of the story’s narrator, i.e., the Wife of Bath, and Chaucer also includes details pertaining to that characterization that reflect the sociopolitical culture of the fourteenth century. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
