Answer:

The Wife of Bath uses foreshadowing in lines 179-196 to tell a tale from her experience of what a woman desires, that is sovereignty over her husband.

Explanation:

The Wife of Bath begins her tale by describing her life and about her marriage with five husbands. In her prologue, in lines 179-196, she foreshadows the moral of her tale that she is about to tell. In these lines, she asserts that whatever she will tell, she will tell out of her experience from her five marriages.

She tells a tale of a young Knight who rapes a young maiden. Instead of punishing, the King's wife asks him a question, which will suggest that whether he should be punished or let go. The moral of the Wife of Bath's tale was that a wife wants and desire to have dominion or sovereignty over her husband. The Wife of Bath, through her experience in five marriages gave this moral, as she herself had sovereignty over her husbands.
