In accordance with Chaucer, the complication with marriage is that men are consumed by sexual desire and are easily abused by women like The Wife of Bath. As noniced, The Millers Tale is all about adultery. Just like men, the wives have secrets, as does God, says the Miller. Both have information that the former(a) do not know about that are sacred and better left unsaid.The idea of supremacy and dignity are both present in The Wife of Baths Tale making it the central concept throughout the idealty of her story. It is assumed that her primary marriage wa s organized by her parents, even though The Wife of Bath does not mention them in her prologue, experience, though no authority/ were in this world, is right enough for me/to speak of the woe that is in marriage /for, my lords, since I was twelve geezerhood of age.

Both allow the reader to understand where they are coming from and their perception. While one does not seem to believe too much in love, the other does. However, both clearly believe that women control the game of love in their own respective ways.
