"The Wife of Bath's Prologue" is a part of <em>The Canterbury Tales</em> in which a female character tells us about marriage, a topic that, according to her, she is an expert on, as she has been remarried five times. The widow differs considerably from the ideal woman of medieval times. However, she is aware of it and she tries to justify her actions in the Preamble.
The speech is extremely long. It serves more as an autobiography, or a collection of musings. The prologue, in fact, is twice as long as the tale itself. However, once she has finished her preamble, she is very effective at telling her tale. In fact, the preamble and the tale complement each other, as the preamble sets the stage for the tale to be able to question issues of marriage, sexuality and gender inequality that are present in the tale.
Option two reads: Their wedges wouldn’t even greet them out of debt to my grandmother, not to mention the staggering bill that waited on them at the white commissary downtown. This suggest that the cotton pickers were poor people because it mentions that they don’t even have enough money to get their ancestors out of debt.
So, your answer would be option two.
Hope this helps :)
