@@sajaabutaima5685 Here's what I interpreted: Let your wife have some say in the matter AND you can always change your behavior(not fix your mistakes as he can't un-violate the maiden) Knight changes after encountering the queen, a figure of authority (who has in a way sovereignty over him) and then finally before his own wife. I think, morals over beauty is another lesson to take by. Look for something deeper than just looks.
I thought of it as like "The older you are the more knowledge you have" if I remember Bath said something like this too. She thinks of herself knowledgable because she had many husbands. And the tale in a way projects her and proves her point
It's a feminist standpoint - in many ways. First, she is determined to make men change their opinions. And in the way that she is honest and tells her truth - from having been married off at age twelve which honestly is sexual abuse against her will - to a much older man. But she refuses to play the victim card. She is still self-confident even though she was physically abused by her fifth husband and had to sell her body to three older wealthy men in marriage... But she was indirectly forced to learn her LESSON when she was SUDDENLY older and wealthy and her last two men married her obviously for MONEY. Still after becoming the victim of domestic abuse by her fifth husband she reacts in a way that leaves her in a positive position even though she was deaf in one ear after the incident... She is determined to marry a sixth time and that's why she is on that pilgrimage!!! In the end it's not only naive to expect her to be of highest morals just because she is a feminist, - it's also not a contradiction to say she is a feminist and still not a faultless character. If power is bound to flawless characters then goodnight Europe. And the world. Feminism isn't based on the pretense that women are better people, it's based on the assumption THAT they aren't less than men who have dominated them aß long as history can actually recall and remember... Status and power don't belong to one side of humanity just because of a distinct body part!!! Women don't have to be better than men to get the same rights. This idea is patriarchy at its best. Chaucer shows in this very lively and reckless person that he doesn't need to paint a picture of perfection to make a lasting impression on every reader of his Canterbury Tales by this remarkable and outstanding victim of domestic abuse, sexual abuse, and so she tells them all that her tale is still about how to survive and thrive in an environment that is, WORLDWIDE, more than ready to exploit women whenever possible...!!!
It's a bit hypocritical and spiteful if she wants to simply turn the tables and do the same thing men do. I always thought Chaucer could have been more subtle and emphasize that relationships are two way streets rather than just believing "happy wife, happy life"
I'm a woman but the comment section is concerning. The Wife of Bath is one terrible woman but I can see how during her time, why women would look up to her because they had no agency at all. Any man or woman that behaves like she does is scum though, no matter the time period.
@@UnknownLifter-jx2xushe did not save anyone’s life… she constantly gaslights her husbands. She is always complaining and forcing the husbands to buy her gifts all the time. She will accuse the husbands of cheating and yell at them like a madwoman even though she knows they did not cheat. She is overly dominant. If a husband does this to his wife, he is scum. If a wife does this to her husband, she is scum
@@UnknownLifter-jx2xuIt isn't about saving one's life or anything but it is about the so-called morals of the story. The moral of the story is that men should be controlled (sovereignty )by woman and that is best thing men should do for themselves which is entirely not true cuz not every men want to marry a woman / controlled by woman the same way woman do not want to be controlled by man.
@@SST938 The story's moral has to do with the woman having sovereignty over herself, not her husband. He got what he desired by allowing her to have what she desired.
she is a legend, an icon, and she is the moment
Can you tell me please what the moral of this story 🤍

Here's what I interpreted:

This is only what Chaucer says (this isn’t from a political view either): What women want most is control of their husbands.
I-...what was that? ...ok, James-

Does anyone ever wonder why the knight believes the old woman's answer over all the other answers?
