is a commonplace when digging into the Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale to stress the anachronism of calling Chaucer a feminist. Yet it is also a commonplace to find Chaucer attractive for his play with gender in his book‚ nowhere better demonstrated than in the reconstitution of various misogynist diatribes into the charismatic Wife of Bath who talks back defiantly to “auctoritee”. If Chaucer is not actually endorsing the strident voice he gives to the Wife‚ he is certainly making play with textuality

Brady’s I want a wife In Judy Brady’s essay‚ “I Want a Wife”‚ she explores why she would like to have a wife. Brady’s style and structure contribute to her theme of female repression. Various style techniques‚ such as repetition and irony‚ are used along with the structural technique of using levels of intimacy. One of Brady’s main style techniques is the use of repetition. She is constantly describing what she wants in a wife and the duties that the wife should take care of: “I want a wife who will not

The Drover’s Wife by Murray Bail and The Drover’s Wife by Henry Lawson are stories that remind me of a conflict between two people. There are always two sides to every story. When I first read Lawson’s version of The Drover’s Wife‚ I felt remorse for the wife. It was heartbreaking to read about the horrific situations she had to go through. “She is used to being left alone. She once lived like this for eighteen months” (Lawson‚ 744). The description of her is an independent‚ strong woman. She became

A wife is a married woman; woman who has a husband; a man’s partner in marriage. (Oxford Dictionary) Is this surface definition of “wife” in actuality means to the husband and also the wife herself? Every married man wishes to have a good wife. Many people advice the new bride to be a good wife to her husband. But what are the makings of a good wife? Many women don’t know about it. But most of these qualities of a good wife are already ingrained in a woman and the rest can be developed. Good wife
