The Comparison's Tale

My group and I read The Wife of Bath's tale which has several similarities to the other tales we heard in class.  Chaucer writes each tale as though the person in the story is really the person writing the story.  The tone and diction used in the Wife of Bath's tale make the story sound as though a real woman is telling it.  The imagery is described so detailed and the emotions sound like the Wife of Bath is telling the story.  Another similarity that many of the stories share are the profane and graphic events that lead to each journey.  In the Wife of Bath's tale, a knight rapes a young maiden. Chaucer's stories all include profanity and sin that quickly catch the reader's attention.
