It is a fabilau because it is a short tale, that keeps you thinking untill the end. It is hard to follow but when you know what's going on then you can start to relise what you have to write about. |

Good start but I don't understand how he can afford his elaborate clothes, because isn't he poor? Maybe I am just confused, correct me if I am wrong. I do agree with the fact that he feels like he must pay for everything himself. |

i dont think there is alot of comparison to the Wife of Bath but there are a few. |

The Shipman feels like he must pay for everything in the relationship. He must pay to clothe, pay the bills for everyone, he must dress them richly. He is sick of doing everything for everyone and he only wants to be treated like not the person who pays all the bills and buys everything for everyone he wants to be able to buys things just for himself. The young monk was attractive, and so friendly with the good man, he was allowed as much freedom in the house as any friend could possibly have. The monk and the merchant bonded together in eternal alliance and they assured the other of brotherhood as long as he lived. |

I evaluated Chelsea's response to the Shipman's question and I think that she did a good job answering the question. She made good comparrisons between the Shipman and the Wife of Bath. She also did a good job on mentioning how the Shipman pays for a lot of things because he cares about appearance. Overall my opionion is Chelsea did a good job responding to the question. She used good detail and comparrisons. |

He had to pay for everyone’s meal and their clothes. He had to pay for everyone’s clothes and had to dress them so he could impress others. He had a beautiful wife which for him was pretty good since he wasn’t that good looking. He was a rich man that had a pretty big and nice house compared to everyone else in town. He used his cousin the monk to buy him finer things just like the Wife of Bath but she used her husband’s sex drives for gifts of her own. |

| The shipman feels that the man has to pay for everything. He feels as though he must buy the most expensive things also. This is very different compared to the wife of bath in the fact that she thinks that the man should have to pay for everything and buy the most elaborate things. |

On the first page of the tale, we hear about the Shipman's opinion on marriage. How does this play out in the tale so far? How does the Shipman's opinion on marriage compare to that of the Wife of Bath? Be sure to include specific examples from the text in your response. |
