Answer 2

Answer:

• It is to the poet Chaucer's credit that he covered the vast territory of prejudice against women in fourteenth-century England, as well as a woman's intellectual repertoire.
• The way he projected was weird, something unthinkable at the time. The crux was tolerance and patient appreciation of the hidden possibilities in human enterprise.
• Chaucer was able to see that women could survive in harsh conditions and used them to his advantage.
• The women were persistent and flexible. They could put social restrictions on the back burner and contemplate means of participating in a hierarchical environment but they all encountered another instance of aliveness and spontaneity that is nature, from which much can be learned.

Explanation:

• The "prologue to The Wife of Bath" depicts a debate taking place among  pilgrims on a sacred journey to Canterbury.
• She does however, maintain a conversation with her fellow travelers and with herself through her speech. In practice, she shows herself to be a robust person, a woman of the world who enjoys life because she lives it her way.
• During the speech, makes pertinent points about marriage, the life of a married woman in a male-dominated world, an individual's struggle to cope with society's pressures, money and property issues, and the prejudices that inform any discourse surrounding them accompany initiative, privilege and power.
• We also cannot overlook the prologue's connection to the story that the Lady of Bath will ultimately tell her audience. The crux of the prologue is the confident and dynamic nature of the woman Alison in fourteent century England.
