ESSAY ON: Giovanni Boccaccio's Tenth Tale, Tenth Day And Chaucer's The Wife Of Bath: Analysis

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: 5 pages in length. Giovanni Boccaccio's Tenth Tale, Tenth Day tells his story of Griselda as an answer to Chaucer's The Wife of Bath tale and philosophy. When one ponders the opposition of The Wife of Bath's Prologue and Tale as it relates to Boccaccio's tale of Griselda, it is easy to see how they represent completely divergent personalities. Chaucer's Alisoun, on the one hand, is a strong and defiant woman who lets no one stand in her way. Griselda, by contrast, is the victim of spousal brutality and has absolutely no way to escape it, either mentally or physically. No additional sources cited.
