Answer:

She asks Jesus to send meek husbands and prays that he will cut short the lives of men who refuse to be governed by their wives.

Explanation:

Towards the end of the tale, the Wife of Bath asks Jesus to send meek husbands who can be controlled by their wives. This is in reference to the story that the Wife of Bath tells. In this story, she claims that women's greatest wish is to have sovereignty over their husbands. When the knight in the story follows this, and respects her wife's opinion, his life and his wife become wonderful. Therefore, the Wife of Bath thinks this is an ideal arrangement and prays to Jesus to only send men who can live under those terms.

The answer is

She asks Jesus to send meek husbands and prays that he will cut short the lives of men who refuse to be governed by their wives.

"She offers the knight a choice: either he can have her be ugly but loyal and good, or he can have her young and fair but also coquettish and unfaithful. The knight ponders in silence. Finally, he replies that he would rather trust her judgment, and he asks her to choose whatever she thinks best. Because the knight’s answer gave the woman what she most desired, the authority to choose for herself, she becomes both beautiful and good. The two have a long, happy marriage, and the woman becomes completely obedient to her husband. The Wife of Bath concludes with a plea that Jesus Christ send all women husbands who are young, meek, and fresh in bed, and the grace to outlive their husbands."

plssss help me !!! Why does Ivan Ilyich scream for three days straight? Why do you think Tolstoy chooses to focus in particular
Taya2010 [7]

The climactic moment of The Death of Ivan Ilych, the changeless instant when Ivan passes through the black sack into the light, fully resolves the contradictions and conflicts present throughout the novel. As Ivan is reborn into the light, the spiritual finally transcends the physiological. Life conquers death, and the authentic prevails over the artificial. At the very moment of his rebirth, when Ivan asks himself, "What is the right thing?" Ivan's hand falls on Vasya's head and he feels sorry for him. Ivan's sincere and heartfelt expression of compassion, coupled with physical human contact, bridges the gap that Ivan had created between himself and others. Throughout Ivan's life, he had erected barriers between himself and the world. Whether by engrossing himself in his official work, losing himself in the game of bridge, or adopting a formal and escapist attitude toward life's unpleasantness, Ivan has isolated himself from meaningful human interaction. By adopting the values of high society, Ivan's life has lost all value. Yet when Ivan realizes the error of his past life, when he feels sorry for Vasya and Praskovya, when he opens himself up to an empathetic connection with another human being, the walls fall from around him. The self-erected barriers drop away from all sides, and Ivan experiences the true joy of unimpeded, authentic human relationships.
