Question

In the wife of baths tale, while the knight is returning to the castle, he sees young maidens dancing in the woods. he rides up, he finds only the woman. what can you infer about the woman from these events?

Answer 1

The only woman the knight comes across in the forest is described as an 'ugly hag'. Considering this, this woman might be the one who could be able to save the knight from his doom. She is someone who may be of enchantment or special powers who may transform into someone beautiful once the knight has proven his insight from his experience which will later be the moral of the story.
