    Self-confident, manipulative, and a duplicitous woman is how Chaucer, the great iconoclast of patriarchy, creates the portrait of the wife through the use of symbolism, metaphor, and paradox. In the “Prologue” to The Canterbury Tales, the “Wife of Bath’s Prologue,” and “Tale,” Chaucer’s deliberate satire upon marriage and women highlights the wife, Alyson, as a sexual desire. Depicted by the people as an idyllic woman, however there’s a dichotomy in her character for Alyson is not the person she portrays to be. In the general prologue, the usage of symbolism describing Alyson’s physical appearance help express her self-confidence.…

    In what ways and with what effects does Chaucer present ‘maistrie’ in relationships between men and women in “The Franklin’s Prologue and Tale?” In “The Franklin’s Tale” by Geoffrey Chaucer, he employs the idea of gender norms to present a maistrie where the Arveragus is dominate over Dorigen in their relationship. Chaucer entails this dominance over Dorigen when Arvegaus is described that “he wrought for his lady before she was won.” The fact that Chaucer describes Dorigen as being “won over” by Arvegaus denotes the dominance he has over her. Dorigen is being won over as if she is an object or more specifically a trophy that can be owned.…

    The model of a woman is often being sculpted because of her differences from man. Women are given many roles overtime, but mainly roles that make them appear weak and roles determined by her capabilities. There are so many gender roles that differ depending on religion and cultural values. The “Wife of Bath’s Tale”, in The Canterbury Tales creates an archetype of a woman based on her instincts and human drives, not on her capabilities.…

    For many critics, her prologue and tale redeem any negative depiction of women in Chaucer’s other work, using her as the ultimate proof of his empathy with women. On the surface, it is easy to see how the Wife is interpreted this way: she openly speaks of her sexual experiences and constantly announces how much she loves sex, she turns texts associated with male authority on their heads, and proudly boasts how she had attained sovereignty over all five of her husbands. Thus it appears to the modern reader that the Wife takes revenge on the previous portrayals of the women in the Tales; however, while she may denounce the medieval misogynistic stereotype of women, she does not practice what she preaches. Not only does she embody the stereotype, she also adheres to the very patriarchal power she condemns. The contradiction between what she says and what she does, not to mention the moral of her tale, completely disqualifies her as some sort of radical medieval…

    Why is it that throughout the many workings and periods of literature, stereotypes are generally portrayed? Is it because of the reportorial and consistent categorizations that occur through various time spans, or is it just a simple, innocent generalization? In Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Prioress’s Tale, this story constitutes many classical and positive Christian morals/lessons. In contradiction to this, the idea of negative stereotyping is the central view in which Jews are presented as being nasty, vicious and immoral people whom nobody desires to associate themselves with. The medieval times in which Chaucer lived in were full of stories exemplifying conflicts between Judaism and Christianity.…

    As a patriarchy, our society denotes men as the dominant group, and as a result, masculinity is intertwined with prestige and power. If men change their values or patterns, then society follows them. Within French nobility, the traditional masculinity of bodily strength, chivalry, and skillfulness was no longer enough to gain prestige and proper reputation. The French elite classes began to emphasize the need for gentlemanly and intellectual pursuits. King Charles the Wise hastened this change through the calculated increase of intellectuals in his court and his emphasis on the arts and learning.…

    During the Medieval time period, it is evident that women were customarily discriminated against as well as, oppressed by and sanctioned by a certain role within every society. However, the Medieval time period comes with it’s very own historical female figures that set out to renounce and bend these gender roles and social norms regardless of the consequences and social scrutiny that was laid out by the men of their time. It is palpable that religion played a major role in the development of these negative images of women. The first women within the Medieval time period that worked to defy these female stereotypes is the fictional character from Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, The Wife of Bath, and the second woman was a real historical…

    In the time The Canterbury Tales was set, the man was seen as the stronger sex, and most women knew their place. For example, in The Miller’s Tale, Alison was young and wild, and “[whose] body [was] as slender as any weasel’s” (Chaucer 90). She was a very pretty woman, and as soon as John realized this, he would have her stay home all day to protect her from other men trying to steal her from him. Alison was fine with this though, because of how she knew what she was supposed to do.…

    Chaucer’s Agenda (An analysis of Chaucer’s iconoclastic attack on institutions in 1300 BCE) “To our understanding of that complex series of religious and secular events still generally known as ‘the English Reformation’ (Whiting). Indeed, Chaucer wrote some very controversial tales about many radical pilgrims of his day, and for the first time brought skepticism into the minds of the commoner. Do you believe that Chaucer had an agenda, an intention to his satirical outlash? For he did attack many sacred views of his day and seemed to hope of some kind of reformation. Or do you believe that Chaucer was simply trying to be comical and capture life in all its essence.…

    Inside Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales”, a reader finds their attention falling upon a rowdy, fair-faced woman, who has been married five times. She is open with her words, ideas, and sexuality. These features are simply unheard for women of her time. Her openness leads many readers to believe she is a woman beyond her time, a feminist even. However, upon further inspection one finds that the Wife of Bath is actually the embodiment of an anti-feminist, she is absurdly physically minded, and does not have an honest appearance..…

    In Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Wife of Bath’s Prologue” and Andrew Marvell’s “To His Coy Mistress” there are both similarities and differences in regards to gender. The representation of Marvell’s speaker as a male who uses his persistent, manipulative nature outlines his disrespect towards women, and their coyness towards sexuality. Chaucer’s uses of a female as his poems lead challenges the expected female standards of her time; not only is his female character outwardly sexual, but she uses it to manipulate and gain power over her male counterparts. Marvell challenges the dominant male role in a relationship through the manipulation of female sexuality and the bible in order to justify that sexuality. In Geoffrey Chaucer and Andrew Marvell’s…
