The Wife of Bath's Tale Wikipedia article is does a fairly decent job in covering the Wife of Bath's presence in the Canterbury tales. However, the article fails to focus on the character of the Wife of Bath. It barely focuses on the actual character and her characteristics. The article itself is pretty decent. It includes vital information about the Tale and does reference some very important things about the story. The article says that the  the Wife of Bath "she holds her own among the bickering pilgrims". This is one small snippet where the article actually focuses on the actual character of the Wife of Bath's Tale.The article also highlights that "sexuality is a dominant theme", which is very common throughout the story. Overall, the article does a good job of summarizing the portion of the Wife of Bath's Tale, however it overlooks some simple, important information.

  1. I also thought that this Wikipedia article covered this story very well but now that you pointed out how it doesn't barley speak of the actually women, I agree! It could use some serious improvement. Cant wait to read the improved article you write!
