Q Describe the Parson’s treatment of his parishioners, as Chaucer describes him in “The General Prologue;” in what ways does he support the hierarchy of medieval society? In thinking about this, remember that democracy or equality among people were not ideas Medieval people considered.What is the purpose of a "prologue?" What seems to be its general purpose with the Wife of Bath and the Pardoner? Think about the Wife's prologue to her tale (which is much longer than the actual story), and suggest how the prologue is related to her story.Do you find the Wife of Bath to be a likeable character? By what criteria should we judge her? What would a standard medieval Catholic view of the Wife of Bath be? Use course notes on St. Augustine and sin to answer this. Quote from the text as you answer the question.What are some of the inconsistencies in the Wife's ideas about marriage? In what ways does the Wife of Bath make marriage sound like prostitution? What does she think is so ideal bout her marriage to Janekin (lines 817-833)? Quote and paraphrase.Although it's customary (and theoretically true, though not always in practice) to describe medieval women as completely lacking in any kind of power, what kind of power does the Wife evidently have OUTSIDE of the bedroom?

Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales is an interesting tale of different types f people who were on their way to a pilgrimage. Parson was a parish pries and he has been presented in this story as a person who blindly follows his own gospels. Holiness and virtue mattered to him the most which is why he lived the life of a poverty-stricken person. He believed that only his works will be followed by his Parishioners. Chaucer has prepared the character in such a way that he visualizes his Parishioners as sheep and that it was his responsibility to rescue them always from the mud.
