Being a loyal husband or wife is a valued trait in almost every society. Within the reading it is shown that monsieur Loisel is a very loyal husband.

Wife Of Bath Archetype

The archetype of the Wife of Bath is distinct to the woman of her century, which can suggets that she might be compared to a figure as Simone de Beauvoir.
