Ok I am continuing on now to the tale..... Chaucer introduced the idea basically that wife of bath makes her basic thesis that women most desire "sovereignty". Ok for example Chaucer uses an older woman, a "cougar" which is the Wife of Bath who has just married a man twenty years younger than she is, as the story is told, about the old hag who gains sovereignty over her youthful husband and the result being that the couple live a contented and a long, happy life.
This lady started out being very boastful, strong minded, and strong willed. She was set in her beliefs that what she was doing and how she was living her life was the right way to do it and she didn't care what anybody else thought. But as you continued to read on in to the story all of that changed, she almost became submissive to a certain degree and it was very apparent at the end of the story.
The ending to this tale was very interesting, it was kinda of crazy how she portrayed how she always had the upper hand in this so called war against men.( this is just my opinion) and seemed like she had fell rather hard for the her last husband, but when she decided to the right thing by him everything backfired on her. Karma, is what happened to her.
For all those years that she was being unreasonable and contrary with her other husbands, all of those things came back on her with this one. I didn't believe that she thought he would hit her and make her go deaf, and right there when she started being dramatic after that, showed how really weak and venerable she really was, because she knew she was ugly and old, and the simple thought of someone actually loving her, younger than her, if what she was thriving for but I really don't think that she believe that he was going to hit her and make her go deaf.
This story was not OK with me, but I mean it was funny how everything changed after she was "hit"!
