In the wife of baths tale rich of these statements saves the life of the knight

In The Wife of Bath's Tale, Queen states that one sentence can be used and answered by the Knight, in order to save his life. The question she asks him is: "What do women desire the most?".

The Queen gives the Knight exactly one year and one day to reveal the correct answer.

Explanation:

The Wife of Bath's Tale is one of 24 stories in Canterbury Tales, written by Geoffrey Chaucer. It reveals the role of women in the Late Middle Ages and it refers to female sovereignty, behavior in marriage, love, feminist critique, etc.

In this story, a knight is accused of sexual assault, and his life can be saved if he discovers what women most desire. He met an old witch who offered him help if he does one thing she asks of him.  

The answer to the question was: sovereignty over man.

This answer is accepted in court and because of that, the witch demands that the knight marry her. In bed, she asked him if he would want to have an ugly but faithful wife or beautiful but faithless. The Knight said the choice must be hers. After this, the witch became young and beautiful.

femininity is conveyed through bernice's personality. she doesn't act how the other girls act and everyone thinks she is weird. she learns how to act in a way that was considered femininely appropriate at the time. she becomes so popular but her attempts to be liked end up backfiring when she is pressured into bobbing her hair. the author wrote that bernice cut off her cousin's hair in revenge for tricking her to cut her hair. this was the authors way of trying to change the way feminine is defined and the way women are expected to act.

not sure but i think it’s the snug nest
