Why might Chaucer have chosen to include this long digression in the narrator's story

English

Naddik [55]3 years ago

Geoffrey Chaucer might have chosen to include the long digression in <em>"The Wife of Bath's Tale"</em> to teach the readers some lessons about Women.

  • The long digression concerns the inability of women to keep secrets.  Be assured that instead of keeping your secrets, women would prefer to talk to inanimate objects, to ease the tension.

  • A long digression in the story also helps to reveal other aspects of the story that may not be included in the main story.  It also prolongs the storytelling, creating other important interests.

  • According to the narrator of <em>"The Wife of Bath's Tales"</em> (and based on her practical experiences), women typically want many things from their husbands.  Above all, women want pampering, flattery, freedom, etc.  Women want to be in charge at all time.

Thus, the long digression that Chaucer has chosen goes a long way to teach many lessons about women's desire for sovereignty.

What part of the human experience do you take for granted? (write a paragraph)
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A part of the human experience I take for granted is how I have the ability to breath the air myself, not having to let a machine pump the air into me. Though many people everyday hate their body for doing something that doesn't actually matter, we forget the things we are fortunate of. The times when we finish a lap of running we don't notice many can't run and just wishes for a pair/body that can help them run around the field lie us fortunate ones.
