ESSAY ON: "Gawain and the Greek Knight"/"Wife of Bath's Tale"

Number of Pages 4

This research paper: A 4 page essay that contrasts and compares these two tales. The Middle Ages are generally not associated with humor, as the medieval era brings to mind in the public consciousness, the terror of the Black Plague, the Inquisition, and incessant warfare. However, two tales from the late thirteenth century, "Sir Gawain and the Greek Knight," author unknown, and "The Wife of Bath' Tale" by Geoffrey Chaucer offer modern readers insight into the worldview of this period and demonstrate the considerable humor and irony that characterizes medieval English society. No additional sources cited.
