70 POINTS Based on the characterization of the Wife of Bath, what do you think was Chaucer's view of women and women's roles? Respond in a paragraph.

Explanation:

Chaucer was a noble man and quite intelligent, he was moved to reach a conclusive validation that women were not weaker vessel and deficient in power because of the male gender, he held the view that women were strong, intelligent and vibrant gender that could mount on any role as the male gender. The roles of gender in Canterbury tales and exploration of women's full participation in the results of these tales made Chaucer to reach a valid conclusion about how strong the female gender is.

As a man fascinated with the role of women during the 14th Century, or most commonly known as the Middle Ages, Chaucer makes conclusive evaluations and remarks concerning how women were viewed during this time period. Determined to show that women were not weak and humble because of the male dominance surrounding them, Chaucer sets out to prove that women were a powerful and strong-willed gender. In order to defend this argument, the following characters and their tales will be examined: Griselda from the Clerk's Tale, and the Wife of Bath, narrator to the Wife of Bath's Tale. Using the role of gender within the genres of the Canterbury Tales, exploring each woman's participation in the outcomes of their tales, and comparing and contrasting these two heroines, we will find out how Chaucer broke the mold on medievalist attitudes toward women.
