A bland and somewhat vague definition of a leader is “A person who leads or commands a group, organization, or country” (Merriam-Webster). This definition can be divided into two more specific categories which consist of being a bad leader or great one. Tailoring the argument would consist of specifying the definition of a great leader, an example of this would be “Leadership is the art of leading others to deliberately create a result that wouldn’t have happened otherwise”. This definition shows the mechanics behind what it takes to be a leader and how persuasive one individual can be to lead the group to good or bad decision. We see the use of good leadership in both The wife of baths tale and the life of Muhammad. The Queen is a great leader …show more content…
The queen shows through leadership how gender roles should become more equalized. Muhammad shows that perseverance and passion can lead to a well thought after religion composed of millions of followers which both demonstrate what qualities it takes to be a successful leader.

The queen in the story of the Wife of Bath tale definitely has character flaws but her ruthless behavior and decision making was strategic and deliberate to get her point across. A knight who is a figure of power and masculinity during this time rapes a woman due to lust. Having raped the young maiden, the knight needed to face his punishment which was dealt by the queen who shows a powerful women role within the text. Using her leadership skills, she asks a life saving question to the knight. The question is “What is the thing that women most desire”? The queen deliberately asked this question

Most would be defeated and simple give up in a lot of circumstances that Muhammad faced, but through his determination he always found a way to remain driven and passionate. Muhammad faced a lot of disapproval when talking and preaching about his thoughts and dream. One phrase in the text gave an accurate description Mohammad character with the facing of adversity “Only a strong and brave man, helped by Allah, can be a true prophet because people often refuse to listen to Allah's message”. This is explaining that he in not giving up and is determine to get the word of Allah across. One context example is when Muhammad’s family and mecca was doing poorly and they barely had enough food to eat “The Prophet began to speak secretly of Allah's message to those Who were close to him and whom he could trust. Abu Talib, the Prophet's uncle, who had taken care of him after his grandfather's death, was finding it very difficult to feed his large family”. This excerpt from the passage and Muhammad can be seen as an analogy to a candle’s flame. No matter how dim and wispy the flame is, it can still produce light and enlightenment to those who surrounds the flame known as Muhammad. Determination is key when being a great leader but one needs passion to fuel the determination which is seen within Muhammad. Passion is defined as “Strong and barely controllable emotion” there is a lot of fluctuation of emotion

    As we have opinions that vary from person to person, the same can be said for authors. Opinions stem from experiences, external influences, and time periods that span in consistency from blatantly apparent to barely distinguishable. Different authors also varied the roles of their character according to the image they are trying to portray for said character. We can see the different roles in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by an anonymous author known as the Pearl Poet, The Wife of Bath by Geoffrey Chaucer, and possibly the most distinct, The Flea by John Donne. Some might think that in these times there would be a enunciated amount of gender inequality due to the time period but as a matter of fact the tales show more of power dynamics leaning…

    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.
