Answer the same questions in the knight chart on the Wife of bath chart. For the characterization question, you're answering what does Chaucer say is good or bad about the Wife Of Bath. Offer two details to support the characterization. For Chaucers attitude towards the Wife of Bath (does he like or dislike the pilgrim? Explain why!)

 

A worthy woman from beside Bath city

 

455

 

Was with us, somewhat deaf, which was a pity.

 

In making cloth she showed so great a bent

 

She bettered those of Ypres and of Ghent.

 

In all the parish not a dame dared stir

 

Towards the altar steps in front of her,

 

460

 

And if indeed they did,so wrath was she

 

As to be quite put out of charity.

 

Her kerchiefs were of finely woven ground; I dared have sworn they weighed a good ten pounds,

 

The ones she wore on Sunday, on her head.

 

465

 

Her hose were of the finest scarlet red

 

And gartered tight; her shoes were soft and new

 

Bold was her face, handsome, and red in hue

 

A worthy woman all her life, what's more

 

She'd had five husbands, all at the church door,

470

 

Apart from other company in youth

 

No need just now to speak of that, forsooth.

 

And she had thrice been to Jerusalem,

 

Seen many strange rivers and passed over them;

 

She'd been to Rome and also to Boulogne,

 

475

 

St.James of Compostella and Cologne,

 

And she was skilled in wandering by the way.

 

She had gap teeth, set widely, truth to say.

 

Easily on an ambling horse, she sat

 

Well wimpled up, and on her head a hat

 

480

 

As broad as is a buckler or a shield;

 

She had a flowing mantle that concealed

 

Large hips, her heels spurred sharply under that

 

In company, she liked to laugh and chat

 

And knew the remedies for love's mischances,

 

485

 

An art in which she knew the oldest dances.

PILGRIM The Knight (lines 43-80) ESTATE 1st Estate Clergy 2nd Estate Nobility/military 3rd Estate Peasants/merchants 4 HOW DOES THE PILGRIM LOOK? The knight pilgrim looked practical and wore a dirty cotton robe since he had just come back from the battle ground. The cotton robe is his every day dress which he wore under his armor during the battle. CHAUCER'S CHARACTERIZATION Chaucer describes the knight based on his character and virtue and describes him as a man with chivalry, honor, truth, and courtesy and he performs his duty of protecting his people. Chaucer gives little importance to physical appearance and gives more significance to characteristics and virtues and says that nobody says anything bad about the knight since he is the perfect embodiment of honor and follows the knight's code. Chaucer's attitude towards the knight is full of respect and admiration and positively portrays him and provides priority to his goodness. TWO DETAILS 1. "a most distinguished man...Followed chivalry/Truth, honor, generousness, and courtesy." (Lines 43- 46) 2. He was wise/And in his bearing modest as a maid/. He never yet a boorish thing had said/ in all his life to any, come what might/. He was a true perfect gentle knight." (lines 70-74) CHAUCER'S ATTITUDE Chaucer's attitude towards the knight is full of respect and admiration and positively, simple dressing, fulfilling of his duties, and absence of any unfavorable traits all together depict him as a good example for the 2nd estate.
