Elizabeth Bathory Research Paper

One of the most memorable pilgrims of The Canterbury Tales, as well as one of the most memorable women in literature, is the Wife of Bath. She is a "lusty and domineering" woman who is proud of and outspoken about her sexuality and believes that a woman should have sovereignty in a marriage (Norton 80).

He was a hard working man and Elizabeth loved her father. Her mother was Abigail Buford and she was to stay at home and care for the children, which is what most women did in these days.

Many individuals were killed throughout the Salem Witch Trials, but the first case involved Abigail Williams, Sarah Goode, Sarah Osborne, and Tituba. According to the University of Virginia, “Abigail Williams testified and said that several times last February she had been much afflicted with pains and often pinched by the apparition of Sarah Good, Sarah Osborne, and Tituba.” Due to their inability to explain things at the time, Salem blamed Abigail Williams’ pains, pinches, and fits on witchcraft. As a result, Sarah Osborne was one of the individuals accused of witchcraft.

The Wife of Bath is a women who knows how society see her and pushes against these boundaries. She knows what men what and she uses her assets to control them.

Whatever they do with their body is THEIR right and they shouldn’t be ridiculed for it. If men have that right, then women should too.

Abigail Betty's cousin also wanted to be part of practicing witchcraft and I think that's when her uncle thought maybe she had done something to Betty and he told her to cure her.

Although Abigail had seemed a little scared .One day both of them had gone to the forest and danced ,they had went to the forest ,because the village people believed that when you dance your dancing with the devil..

Mercy supposedly had said that she was not doing anything bad that she was just “looking”at them dance . A few days

“They carry different diseases than we do (The Help, 2011)” said Hilly Holbrook as she struggled to hide the fact she was dying to use the bathroom during a card game at Elizabeth Leefolt’s home.

All over town signs say ‘COLORED’ or ‘WHITES ONLY.’ You did not talk to the colored help unless you were the one they are working for.
