Hello. My name is David Macias, and I'm going to
- 00:05 - 00:12
present over the wife of Bad still before.
- 00:13 - 00:16
So the story starts off with a very lusty night.
- 00:17 - 00:19
Who sees a lady who happens to be a virgin?
- 00:20 - 00:21
He raped her.
- 00:22 - 00:27
King Arthur was gonna cut his head off, but but
- 00:27 - 00:29
then gives the queen to decide the punishment.
- 00:32 - 00:34
She she chose to spare his life on Lee.
- 00:34 - 00:37
If he could answer what woman most desire.
- 00:39 - 00:42
She gave him 12 months and a day to come
- 00:42 - 00:43
up with the answer.
- 00:43 - 00:45
Or he would die People.
- 00:46 - 00:49
He traveled and went to every town and every door
- 00:50 - 00:51
hoping to find the answer.
- 00:52 - 00:53
He was getting nowhere.
- 00:54 - 00:55
Everyone had a different idea.
- 00:56 - 01:01
E. Last day it was heading to homeland, and he
- 01:01 - 01:04
came across some dancing ladies as he arrived.
- 01:05 - 01:05
All of them disappeared.
- 01:07 - 01:12
Besides an old old lady, she makes him promise her
- 01:12 - 01:15
oath for the answer that will save his life.
- 01:17 - 01:19
The time is here, and the queen wants to hear
- 01:20 - 01:24
what he has to her from to her little quest.
- 01:26 - 01:29
The night speaks up and says that women most desire
- 01:30 - 01:31
the upper hand at all times.
- 01:35 - 01:36
And that is the right answer.
- 01:37 - 01:38
So he is.
- 01:38 - 01:40
The queen lets him live.
- 01:41 - 01:43
But then the old lady comes up and tells the
- 01:43 - 01:46
queen that the NYT owes him the first thing that
- 01:46 - 01:49
she wants and that is to take the night.
- 01:49 - 01:55
As her husband, he had no choice but to marry
- 01:55 - 01:59
her. The old lady, your wife, seize the night, said
- 01:59 - 02:01
one day and asked him what's wrong?
- 02:03 - 02:06
He says that she is really ugly and too old.
- 02:06 - 02:13
Yeah, The wife then gives the night in option to
- 02:13 - 02:17
either be old and plain but obedient or be young
- 02:17 - 02:21
and pretty, but in danger with other people like cheating
- 02:21 - 02:22
on him himself.
- 02:24 - 02:25
He does not know what to say.
- 02:26 - 02:29
So he tells her that she has the upper hand
- 02:29 - 02:32
and can make all the choices since the night gave
- 02:33 - 02:35
her what all women desire at all times.
- 02:37 - 02:44
She chose to be beautiful and true, and at the
- 02:44 - 02:47
end home when she is given the upper hand, end
- 02:48 - 02:49
up living a happy ah happy marriage.
- 02:53 - 02:55
Oh, themes.
- 02:56 - 02:58
There were many themes throughout the tell, but I'll start
- 02:59 - 03:00
with changes in womanhood way.
- 03:02 - 03:05
See this because all throughout the story we notice how
- 03:05 - 03:08
the old lady wanted toe have the upper hand and
- 03:09 - 03:12
in the story says that no woman had disagreed when
- 03:12 - 03:13
the night gave the answer.
- 03:18 - 03:18
Next is power.
- 03:20 - 03:22
One thing right off the bat in the story was
- 03:22 - 03:28
how the night had overpowered lady and richer We see
- 03:28 - 03:29
power odd throughout the tail.
- 03:31 - 03:33
You see it when the when the king When King
- 03:33 - 03:37
Arthur gave the power over toe, the queen had thio
- 03:39 - 03:43
how the queen used her power to set the night
- 03:44 - 03:48
on his little on his quest Also when the night
- 03:48 - 03:51
gives up his power to the old lady and lets
- 03:51 - 03:53
her choose for herself what she wants.
- 03:54 - 03:57
The last thing I found was that old age is
- 03:58 - 04:02
wisdom After the night have searched and searched all over
- 04:02 - 04:06
the town and each door Hey found he lastly found
- 04:07 - 04:20
a lady with wisdom who finally had the answer So
- 04:21 - 04:25
so the individual that is the target in this tale
- 04:26 - 04:26
his men.
- 04:27 - 04:30
I'm looking back at the husband in the prologue by
- 04:31 - 04:31
bad wife.
- 04:32 - 04:36
It's also how her her fought her five ex husband's
- 04:36 - 04:37
cheating her treated her badly.
- 04:42 - 04:50
Yeah, So what is basically being under attack or what
- 04:50 - 04:53
is being made fun off is the belief that marriage
- 04:54 - 04:56
is better off when the man is in control of
- 04:56 - 04:56
the wife.
- 05:04 - 05:05
Rhetorical strategies.
- 05:07 - 05:10
So the rhetorical strategy that I found was irony.
- 05:11 - 05:14
Okay, so I do not.
- 05:15 - 05:20
I didn't expect the night to give to get a
- 05:20 - 05:20
second chance.
- 05:21 - 05:23
Instead, I thought he was going to die right away
- 05:23 - 05:26
by the by the King Arthur.
- 05:26 - 05:30
But, um, the power was given over to the wife
- 05:30 - 05:31
to the queen.
- 05:32 - 05:36
And then the wife of Bad keeps him alive in
- 05:36 - 05:36
this tale.
- 05:36 - 05:38
So at the end, she could reveal the answer at
- 05:38 - 05:39
the end.
- 05:40 - 05:42
So I think it was really smart of what he
- 05:42 - 05:43
did. What?
- 05:44 - 05:44
The story?
- 05:47 - 05:54
Yeah. So the desire change in the tail was that
- 05:55 - 05:58
marriage would be better off and the woman if the
- 05:58 - 05:59
woman had the upper hand.
- 06:01 - 06:02
I say this because at the end of the tail,
- 06:03 - 06:07
she says how they lived happily ever after After his
- 06:07 - 06:17
decision to give her full control after Yeah, These are
- 06:17 - 06:18
my We're excited.
- 06:20 - 06:21
Thank you.
