The old woman b. Chaucer
c. The knight
d. The Wife of Bath
The old woman in the Wife of Bath's tale demands that the knight marry her in return for her help in solving the riddle.
In "The Wife of Bath's Tale," the knight is spared from death by agreeing to marry an older, unattractive woman. As part of the bargain, the old woman asks the knight to promise to treat her as he would a wife, regardless of her appearance. This agreement leads to the ultimate lesson of the story about what women truly desire: sovereignty over their husbands.
In the Wife of Bath's Tale, the rising action occurs as the Knight is given the quest to find out what women most desire, and he meets the old woman who offers him the answer in exchange for a future favor. The tension builds as the Knight must fulfill his promise to the old woman, leading to the climax of the story.
The knight keeps his promise to the woman who saved his life.The knight is not happy about being married to an ugly old woman.The knight lets the woman make an important choice.The old woman transforms into a beautiful maiden.
In "The Wife of Bath's Tale," the knight learns the answer to the question posed by the queen: "What do women most desire?" He reveals the answer - that women desire sovereignty over their husbands. As a result, the knight is spared from his death sentence and must marry an old woman, who later transforms into a young and beautiful woman. They live happily ever after.
In the Wife of Bath's tale, the knight learns the importance of respecting women's autonomy and is spared by Queen Guinevere after he solves the question of what women desire most. He then faces the challenge of deciding whether to marry an old, faithful wife or a young, beautiful one, and ultimately defers the choice to his wife, granting her sovereignty in their relationship.
The old woman in "The Wife of Bath's Tale" gets the knight to change his attitude toward marrying her by giving him a choice: he can either have her be old and faithful or young and possibly unfaithful. By allowing him to make the decision himself, she teaches him the valuable lesson of allowing a woman to have autonomy and agency in a relationship.
In "The Wife of Bath's Tale," the knight's second punishment was to find out what women desire most. He found the answer by asking an old woman for help, who revealed that women desire sovereignty over their husbands and lovers. This answer ultimately led to the knight's redemption.
This is not a question and it needs to be rewritten.
The old woman tells the knight that it is not shameful to be poor and relates this to Jesus being poor and not wishing for material objects. She also tells him that her age directly correlates with her level of faithfulness.
