 Man of law's tale (canterbury tales )The Man of Law's Tale (also called The Lawyer's Tale) is the fifth of the Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. The prologue to the Wife of Bath’s tale is actually longer than her tale.Chaucer uses it to justify the five marriages that the Wife of Bath entered into.The clear suggestion is that what women most desire is to have complete control over their husbands.There are also additional comments concerning the chastity of women. It was widely thought in Medieval England that a life of chastity would bring the person closer to God. |
