The Wife of Bath

Flawed logic and false intelligence everywhere. First she claims that she doesn't know much, and I don't really believe she thinks that anyway, and then she starts quoting all sorts of scriptures and authorities.
Her story then, was also super strange. Apparently, the answer to what women want is power over men. Chaucer is satirizing the commonly held fear by men that their wives would want power over them. However, if given the choice between marrying a kind ugly person, and a hateful pretty one, I would hope I would be that smart as to choose correctly if the situation was reversed.
Commented on Matt Henson's
