The Marriage Debate in The Canterbury Tales
Summary: Four tales in Geoffrey Chaucer's work The Canterbury Tales serve as examinations of the concept of marriage and the problems that can arise from it. The marriages covered in three of the tales -- "The Clerk's Tale," "The Wife of Bath's Tale," and "The Merchant's Tale" -- fall victim to trials of loyalty, one-sidedness, and impatience. The fourth, "The Franklin's Tale," presents the resolution of problems with the least amount of heartache, leaving a marriage that is tested and true.
