Explanation:
'The Wife of Bath's Tale' is one of the tales from 'The Canterbury Tales' penned by Geoffrey Chaucer during the later half of the 14th century.
The Wife of Bath tells a tale of a Knight of King Arthur's Court. The Knight is passioned and lusty, in his passion and lust he rapes a maiden whom he finds to be most attrative and beautiful. As a punishment the court decided to behead him, only the Queen and her maidens choose to forgive his punishment if he gives a correct answer to her question that <em>'What do women want more than anything in the world?' </em>
The Knight receives many responses to this question. Many women responded with answers like women desire love, wealth, honor, pleasure, clothings, flattery, and so on before the old woman gave him the correct answer.
In Act II, Scene III, of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo visits Friar Lawrence and declares his love for Juliet. He then asks the Friar if he will marry them:
I’ll tell thee as we pass, but this I pray:
That thou consent to marry us today.
The Friar is shocked that Romeo wants to marry Juliet because he claimed to be madly in love with Rosaline, a silent character in the play. In fact, Romeo was quite love-sick and it was the Friar who tried to convince Romeo to let Rosaline go because she did not reciprocate his feelings. The Friar then goes on to scold Romeo because he did not want him to abandon his love for Rosaline only to go on to fall in love with another woman. However, when he realizes that Romeo is serious about Juliet and that she reciprocates his feelings, he agrees to marry them. He also recognizes that this marriage is an opportunity for the two warring families to be reconciled:
For this alliance may so happy prove
To turn your households' rancor to pure love
