Wife of Bath Question and Paragraph
What can one infer, using the Wife of Bath tale, about relationships between men and women and the quest for sovereignty over the classic dominant partner in a relationship, the male?
In majority of relationships between Alison, the main character, and her husbands, there was a more dominant person who sometimes unintentionally forced their partner to find sovereignty in the arms of another lover. Alison had previously been wed to five different men and awaited the sixth; yet, she had little or no respect at all for four of her husbands who yielded their gold and land to please her. In fact, Alison treated her men as her slaves more than sacred companions. It is possible to suggest that she was insecure about herself and how she was viewed by her mate; therefore, this attribute forced her to yearn to be the controlling or dominant person in the relationship. By doing so, she mischievously guaranteed her wealth and felt empowered.

I think your paragraph was really great! in the first sentence i would add the word "the" to "the majority".....i think you should talk about the plot a little less if you want....also i think you should consider changing your question to pertain more to Alison's realtionship because it talks very specifically about Alison rather than women in general as your question asks....even adding a quote would make your paragraph even better! But your paragraph was really great and take these suggestions as you please! :-)
