Her disregard for the institution of matrimony and the merchant s naivete are the two reasons why the wife has the control in their relationship.

This story is the ... Wife of Bath s Prologue is the most apparent example of Chaucer s contempt for the institution of marriage. Through the Wife of Bath, Chaucer shows how one person, mainly the female, has the ultimate control in a relationship.

- ... each other because each is caused by Macbeth’s will to be independent . According to Webster’s dictionary, the archaic definition of independence is “competence” (1148).

Macbeth, on the other hand, feels independence is to not be subordinate to others like the king. To be independent, one must be strong. Inner ... almost strong enough to complete the task without Lady Macbeth. “He is driven to the murder of Duncan partly by the constant goading of Lady Macbeth and partly by his own will to be in control of Scotland:” he feels power is strength (Watkins 29).

They did this first and foremost by constantly observing the people. Both Stalin & "The Party" believed in total control over their "party members".

The ... This deprivation of privacy, and how happy the people are about it, demonstrates exactly how the Well Doer is able to subtlety take away other rights.
