In telling about the knight’s travels, the Wife of Bath explains some of the answers the knight hears along the way. One answer

he hears is that women like to be thought "discreet / And secret… / Never betraying things that we are told." The Wife of Bath goes on to say about that answer: "But that’s not worth the handle of a rake; / Women conceal a thing? / For Heaven’s sake!" What does the Wife of Bath’s response reveal about her?

Explanation:

The Wife of Bath is a wise and bold woman. She can answer to a king and disagree with the statement someone told him. This statement can not be taken for granted. She reconsiders the describing of women as discreet and secret. She answers from her perspective and insight. Her answer classifies her as a woman who is wise, smart and resourceful. She describes women opposite from the pronounced. The Wife of Bath emphasizes the claim that women can not hide or conceal a thing. This explains her’s opinion and belief about women. She does not defend them, she reveals the truth about them, and it shows that she is equal to both genders.

Examine Dr. Faustus’s status as a tragic hero. Does he deserve this label? Explain your answer. Your answer should be at least 1
Virty [35]

Dr Faustus can be considered a tragic hero for various reasons. Firstly, we can conclude that he is not completely bad or evil, he just makes a critical error and decides to sell his soul to the devil due to his thirst for knowledge. This makes us relate to him due to his imperfect nature and hunger for knowledge and consequently we pity him more. Secondly, he is of high standing and is a great scholar, which makes us question how these things can happen to such people and this makes his tragic destiny seem even more gloomy to us. When we look at Aristotle's definition of a tragic hero where he defines him as someone not 100% good or bad who makes us feel sorry for their miserable fate, the character of Faustus fits this definition perfectly. All in all, his human vices paired with his inquisitive nature are the main reasons why we are obliged to consider Dr Faustus a tragic hero.

You have no answer choices. But when a writer does this they must give credit to the original owner by using in-text citations and/or putting credit on your works cited page.

Hope this helps :)
