By Geoffrey Chaucer

The Prologue Before she could start she keeps being interrupted by the Pardoner She is going to tell her tale if she as though she is an expert at marriage and also as though she part of the “marriage group” The “marriage group” includes several stories that explore how men and women should behave in marriage.

The Tale – the background She starts off her tale by referring to the Celtic belief of animism by telling how there use to be an Elf-Queen and fairies in the land. The Celtic fairies have been irradiated by the Friars Which makes it safer for the women, except Women must be wary of the Friars “There is no other incubus but he, So there is really no one else to hurt you And he will do no more than take your virtue”

The Tale cont. He takes her to court with him All of the women of the kingdom are there The Answer: women want power over men The old woman jumps up and says “I told him that and now he must marry me” The knight pleads for mercy because she is disgusting to him He loses – and is forced to marry the old, wrinkly, hag

The Tale – cont. He hides from everyone on his wedding day The old woman lectures him on what makes a good wife She offers him a choice – A beautiful, but finicky, complaining wife or Or an ugly faithful one He realizes her need for power, and lets her choose She …..
