This paper aims to examine medieval discourses on women and the critical voices of them in Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales focusing on “The Clerk’s Prologue and Tale” and “The Merchant’s Prologue and Tale.” The two prologues and tales are dramatically connected not only with The Wife of Bath’s Prologue but also with each other. The Clerk tries to correct The Wife of Bath’s extreme feminism by showing her that women can ‘dominate’ men by using women’s spiritual virtues and patience. On the contrary, the Merchant opposes the Clerk’s view of women and directly attacks the Wife of Bath’s feminism by arguing that women are descendants of Eve leading men to ruin and unhappiness. The medieval discourses on women shown in the two prologues and tales are patriarchal ones which consist of extreme women-worship and misogyny, established by men of ruling class such as the clergy and the aristocracy. What they reveal is not the lives of actual medieval women, but male desires and fear toward women at that time. Chaucer criticizes the patriarchal ideology in the Clerk’s tale by retracting ‘the story of Griselda’ in a comical voice and reveals the patriarchal desires in The Merchant’s tale by ironically dealing with him and the male characters in his tale. Through these devices Chaucer shows that misogyny or antifeminism is ultimately the product of the patriarchal dominant ideology and male desires.
