The Wife of Bath Prologue and Tale

I enjoy reading The Wife of Bath Prologue and Tale because it brings out one's inner thoughts and feelings. The narrator speaks her mind openly about marriages, sex, control, and physical attractions between male and female. At the beginning of the prologue, the narrator uses Abraham, Solomon, and Jacob from The Old Testament to prove her point about marrying more than once. She also makes a statement similar to the tale itself; that is a women wants to be the one in control in the marriage
The Wife of Bath Prologue is about a female who has been through five different marriages. She talks of her husbands openly and how she controls each of them. She describes the first three husbands as old, rich, and kind (weak-willed). It seems to me that she wed them for their fortune. Her other two husbands are much younger, but are not as kind to her as the first three husbands. They treated her terribly, yet she loves them anyway. Her fifth husband is much more harder to get for the reasons that he dislikes women and are physically abusive towards them.
The tale on the other hand is a little bit different from the prologue. I did not expect the tale to be about a knight who is given a one year limit to search for an answer to a question. His question by the queen is of all the things in life, what would a women want the most? I thought this question would be difficult to answer. There are so many different opinions from each person. How is the knight be able to answer this question? However, he has helped from an older, ugly looking lady. She saids that women likes to be the one in control the most. This answer surprises me. Relationship nowadays is about two individuals agreeing with each other instead of who is being in control. However, the answer fits perfectly with the prologue.
