Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The wife of Bath's tale was written by Geoffrey Chaucer. The 'Wife of Bath's Tale' is about what are desired by women.

In Lines 247–271, the purpose of this digression from her tale allows her to comment on the next thing that happened ironically.

After a wedding in a traditional tale, the next thing that comes up is the celebration but in this situation, the Knight is unhappy and angry about his wife because of her lack of beauty and age and therefore wants to stay hidden.
