1 The Canterbury TalesThe wife of bath and her Tale2 The wife Of bath s Tale Introduction We remember the wife of bath , not so much for her tale as for Chaucer's accountof her in the General prologue and, above all, for her own prologue . For one thing,the tale itself is a rather unremarkable folktale with a lecture on true nobilitysomewhat awkwardly incorporated. The tale is meant to illustrate the contentionof her prologue : that a marriage in which the woman has the mastery is the best,and the conclusion of one closely coincides with the other. The tale also seems toexpress covertly her desire to be young and beautiful again. It is not a poor tale,but neither is it of unforgettable force like the Pardoner's or of unforgettablehumor like the Miller's. Moreover, the prologue is about three times as long as thetale to which it is supposed to be a short introduction. If that is appropriate foranyone, it is so for Alison of bath , about whom everything is large to the point ofexaggeration: her bulk, her clothes, her mouth, the number of her marriages, theextent of her travels, her zest for sex, her love of domination, her torrentialdelivery.
