Chaucer's view of women and women's roles is that women should be allowed to decide their fate and the matters of the family. Chaucer's characterizes women as a class of people who want to be very free from male domination and control.

Explanation:

This view is also supported by the desire of women. Women generally desire to assert their authority in the home. They want to control their husbands and children. They like to dictate the tune and the dance. Though, subtly they can do this, it does appear contradictory when they overtly push for the same role. After all, women are in charge of the affairs of the home. Why should they desire to be allocated the same role that has been assigned to them? Are they not satisfied with what they have? Women should learn that the more power they get, the more they lose. It is only in doing that the doer is identified and not in much demanding and longing for more.

The Wife of Bath was written as part of the Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer to illustrate societal hatred for the raw demand for power and control by women. Women already have it all. Women should play their part well and leave men to play theirs.
