Oh Bathy.

Alright chick. You are deaf in both ears, and still you ramble ceaselessly. You launch into this knight's tale, and then take to talking about King Midas. Really? And after Gawain and all of our discussion on being true, The Wife is such a culture shock. Unless it's on matters of romantic love, I don't think she can be taken as being a true person. Even from the opening line of her prologue, "There was a housewife come from Bath, or near," so we aren't even totally sure where she's from? Ok. That's fine. I get that. Get married first at twelve. Ok. Normal. But then she launches into her theology on marriage. 'I shouldn't have gotten married more than once because Jesus only went to one wedding.' What kind of sense does that make?? I just laugh. I cannot take her seriously.

  1. Yes, she is the worst. I cannot image what the world would be like if people actually thought like this... Oh wait.

  2. I laughed a lot at her as well. I was annoyed, yet I enjoyed it thoroughly because of how ridiculous of a character she is.

  3. Yeah, its sad that people actually think like this at times. She at least had a sensible line of thinking though. Kinda. Maybe.

  4. I just can't with this woman. She is horrid. Comical yes, because she is so horrid but still. She is very arrogant in her beliefs that are just so very wrong! Ahhhhh.
