Irony can be defined as a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects, and is often amusing as a result.
Irony in the prologue the “Wife of Bath Tale” is when the knight finds himself in a predicament with the court when he forcibly took the woman’s virginity. He then had to find out what women desire from their spouses. When he found out that the answer was power, and authority over themselves, and their spouses. He then realized that if he had given her power, he wouldn’t have raped her.
