Canterbury Tales Favorite character

My favorite character in the Canterbury Tales would have to be the one and only wife of bath. she is just plain awesome  she has traveled the whole world, and been on so many pilgrimages. Also who can ignore the fact that she has been married five times. she is also a fashionably. she wears the finest clothing in these ages. she has become rich and powerful in a time where women are not considered as highly as men are. they do not have the same rights as men have during this time. she does an excellent job going against that, and uses her body to get what she wants. she is gap-toothed, which counts as a sign of beauty. she is drop dead gorgeous, and uses all of those features to her advantage.

I think that the wife of bath has endured so much since Chaucer wrote this. she has been married five times, and has become so rich and successful with out the help of a man. in this time, men were so high, and women's opinion did not matter. even though that she would be considered a skank and adulterous today, she actually stood again the trend of male power. i think Chaucer was trying to show that women should have equal power, and the wife of bath is a great representation of this.i think that the wife of bath has lasted so long because she has her own opinions, and wants everything to be done her own way. she is mentioned today because she is a great example of women rights.
