Paper Summary:
This paper examines the themes of love, sex and marriage and the role of women within the "Wife of Bath" and "The Franklins' Tale" of Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales". It looks at how the themes relate to one and other within the texts as well as in context of the time period they were written in.From the Paper:
"Chaucer's The Franklin's Tale is normally seen as the finale of the stories on marriage and sex, colloquially known as the "marriage group" that begin with the Prologue of the Wife of Bath's story through to the Franklin's Tale, this has been seen as way that Chaucer has argued and tried to resolve the marriage question that was originally given by the Wife of Bath on who should be in charge of the Marriage, this argument was developed by Kitteredge as he interpreted the Canterbury Tales as dramatic form of human comedy."More papers on Marriage and the Canterbury Tales:
