Answer:

In The Wife of Bath's Tale, Queen states that one sentence can be used and answered by the Knight, in order to save his life. The question she asks him is: "What do women desire the most?".

The Queen gives the Knight exactly one year and one day to reveal the correct answer.

Explanation:

The Wife of Bath's Tale is one of 24 stories in Canterbury Tales, written by Geoffrey Chaucer. It reveals the role of women in the Late Middle Ages and it refers to female sovereignty, behavior in marriage, love, feminist critique, etc.

In this story, a knight is accused of sexual assault, and his life can be saved if he discovers what women most desire. He met an old witch who offered him help if he does one thing she asks of him.

The answer to the question was: sovereignty over man.

This answer is accepted in court and because of that, the witch demands that the knight marry her. In bed, she asked him if he would want to have an ugly but faithful wife or beautiful but faithless. The Knight said the choice must be hers. After this, the witch became young and beautiful.

Sample Response: Poe uses images that appeal to the senses of sound, sight, and touch. At first, these images create a gloomy, mysterious, and tense mood. Then, the mood becomes haunting. Sound devices, such as the repetition of the name “Lenore” and its constant rhyming with “nevermore,” create a slow, haunting sound that further contributes to the spooky mood.
