Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A woman’s role in The Canterbury Tales is firmly set as either that of a nun, or that of a mother. However, the tales told by female narrators are a display of individual hopes and dreams of women who are not completely satisfied with the tradition that determines their position in society.
Detailed explanation-2: -In many ways, the Wife of Bath is a professional wife because she has been married multiple times and is a self-proclaimed expert in marriage. Her name is one of the antifeminist tropes used by Chaucer throughout her tale because it anchors the Wife in her role as a woman despite her claims against this.
