Directions: compose an essay of about 3-4 pages that analyzes the connections that can be made between or among at least two of the works we have focused on in Unit 1 (Beowulf, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Geoffrey Chaucer’s: “The Wife of Bath’s (Prologue and Tale)”.

(All works can be found in the textbook “The Norton Anthology of English Literature: The Middle Ages” [Tenth Edition preferred])
