Jeffrey Chaucer, who was not only referred to as the father of English poetry, but also had a great influence on the settlement of medieval English literature, has written the Canterbury Tale since his wife died in 1387. The Canterbury Tale did not explain the upper-class society in which Chaucer himself was living as the subject or theme of the work but instead described various human images of the lives of ordinary people of the time. In this regard, many people would have been able to approach this work intimately at all times.
The Wife of Bath is a central figure in The Wife of Bath’s Tale, one of Jeffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tale, and she is a woman who gets married five times and enjoys speaking loud. Therefore, she gets criticized by religious people and Christians who go on a pilgrimage to Canterbury. However, in modern times, the Wife of Bath is reevaluated as an arch-feminist (Il-jae 119).
