    Evidence-
    "As help me God, I laughe whan I thinke
    How pitously a-night I made hem swinke (Chacuer 201)."
    "I governed hem so wel, after my lawe,
    That ech of hem ful blisful was and fawe (Chacer 219)."

    Argument-Women use their bodies and womanly woes to control men's actions

    Claims- Women use their bodies and men's sexual desires to reap benefits whether in the household or to obtain valuables. The quote also proves that women feel as though they need some type of control and their main control lies within the bedroom.

    Purpose: The purpose of this passage is to demonstrate that throughout history women have constantly used their bodies to change events, make men swoon, and assert their control over situations and events. This will further help my argument and can serve as a parallel to how women use their bodies wihtin Dumas's stories to obtain what they want. It will also aid with the satire Chaucer uses and show a different point of view to the argument I am trying to assert.
