The Canterbury Tales consists of a narrative Prologue, which introduces the characters and also of a group of tales, told by each of the pilgrims. The traveler who delivered the best story will win a dinner paid for by the rest of the group. Often times these tales poked fun and ridiculed another pilgrim's character. The Woman of Bath for example, recited one tale, which ridiculed the Knight. The Woman of Bath contradicted the original thoughts of the Knight's character through her demoralizing tale.
In the Prologue, the narrator offers a description of each character that is embarking on the pilgrimage to Canterbury. The first character that was illustrated and one whom the narrator spoke very highly of was the Knight. In the narrator's eyes, the Knight is the noblest of the pilgrims, embodying military bravery, chivalry, loyalty, honor, generosity, and good manners. One would say that even though so much distinguished, he was also very wise. Often, the Knight was honored for his Christianity and noble graces. He has fought in crusades all over the world and comes to the pilgrimage seeming fresh out of battle, for the narrator says he is in military dress and that his clothes are still soiled. The Knight conducted himself in a polite and mild fashion, never saying an unkind word about anyone. He was said to be a true and perfect gentlemen. The Knight is frequently named as one of the "ideal" pilgrims on the journey to Canterbury. The Wife of Bath is perhaps the most fully realized character in the Canterbury Tales. Headstrong, boisterous, and opinionated, she wages a perpetual struggle against the denigration of women. The theme of the Wife of Bath's Tale is thus not female equality in marriage, but rather the power struggles between husband and wife. She tells a story from a distant time, when King Arthur ruled the nation. King Arthur had a knight who, when riding home one day found a maiden walking along and robbed her of her virtue.
