Salter"The Wife of Bath is a character who at certain predictabletimes puts on an equally predictable mask" - Gloria K.ShapiroWhereas Ford punishes the women for plotting in Tis Pity (Annabella,Hippolita & Putana), Chaucer rewards the Wife for her plotting by allowingher her 'sovreynaytee' at the end of the prologue.Ford demonstrates a more misogynistic text than Chaucer; which is ironicconsidering Chaucer's text is older and set in a more misogynistic time periodKnight's speech shows each stressed word having significance:"FOUL and OLD" "Chese NOW". The imperatives of "Chese""Cheseth" show the lack of knight's choice"I know wel of wanderinge by the weye"Some critics believe that Chaucer put "as helpe me verray God omnipotent"as the central line of both the Wife's and the Pardoner's prologue to showtheir differing views. Pardoner uses it to remind the pilgrims that God iswatching and the WoB uses it as a throwaway line. e.g. "Oh for Gods sake".Swearing such as "Oh Jesus Christ" was believed to be directly inflictingpain on Jesus, thus making the WoB's throwaway line blasphemous andalso physically injuring JesusFamous animated tale shows a Yellow flower held by the rapevictim (Tale).
