They were constantly drinking and cursing at each other, disrespecting their elders, being extremely greedy, and then eventually murdering each other in cold blood. The old man they had met, however, was a symbol of what was right, of the good in society.

Her final implication to the Bible highlights Lamech and Jacob, and how each holy man had two wives (Chaucer 118, ln. 60-64). All of the arguments, directly from the text of the Bible, present valid justification in her mind to why the Catholic church should condone more than one marriage.
In Chaucer's time, women who participated .....
