The author's portrayal of women is ever so prevalent in the “The wife of bath’s prologue”. We can find Geoffrey Chaucer’s view on women by analyzing the female characters he wrote about. The Wife of Bath is a very interesting character, she seems to be a very nice person, but can not stay in a relationship. For example she has been married many times, had kids etc. We get an example “Of tribulation in the married life In which I’ve been an expert as a wife, That is to say, myself have been the whip.” (180) She has been married so many times that she knows what to do and what not to do in a relationship. When she compared herself to the wip, its says that she can be a strong independent woman if need be.
