The interaction between the Wife of Bath and the Friar in "The Wife of Bath's Prologue" is part of Chaucer's frame story. What connections can be made between this section of the prologue and take itself?

Summary

Before the Wife begins her tale, she shares information about her life and her experiences in a prologue. The Wife of Bath begins her lengthy prologue by announcing that she has always followed the rule of experience rather than authority. Having already had five husbands "at the church door," she has experience enough to make her an expert. She sees nothing wrong with having had five husbands and cannot understand Jesus' rebuke to the woman at the well who also had five husbands. Instead, she prefers the biblical command to go forth and multiply.
