SO MANY MEN....

So….The Wife of Bath definitely knows A LOT about marriage. Probably because she has had 5 HUSBANDS. Who let her get married at 12 years old? The thing is it seems like she likes that she has been married so much. It’s probably because she got whatever she wanted from most of her husbands. She did what she wanted and since they were older she could easily manipulate them into thinking they had to do whatever she wanted. She lied to them about the “bad things” they had done when they were drunk so they would try to make it up to her.

So she likes to control her husbands with her sexual power? She just seduces her men to get her way. She kind of reminds me of that mean girl that would flirt with the boys to get them to do her homework. She loves to marry her men for the money that they have. She uses her powers to get men to submit to her.

The only one that was different was her 5^th husband. She says she married him out of love but yet she lied to him about how he enchanted her? Was it really love or was it because he was a challenge?

 

 He was the first to not fall for her charms and didn’t take her manipulation. Instead he was the one who messed with her. He would do something wrong but win her back because he was coy and said the right things. She fell for the bad boy who was totally wrong for her and wanted to change him. He hurt her and yet she still loved him. She seems like she wasn't the average woman of the time. She did what she wanted and seemed like she didn't really care what others thought of her. Of course she mentioned that people judged her because of her lifestyle but that usually happens when you do things that others don't do.
