Do you think the wife of bath wants readers to sympathize with the knight at this point of the story, why or why not?

The Wife of Bath does not want readers to sympathize with the knight, but she does want to show how men failed to maintain chivalry because they were dominated by lust.

You did not show the excerpt of the story to which your question only refers, but we can reach that answer by the following information:

  • A Wife of Bath tells the story of a knight who acted inappropriately with a young woman and was sentenced to find out what the women's greatest wish was, or to be executed.
  • He searches the entire kingdom and doesn't find the answer. He then promises to marry an old and ugly woman if she can deliver him from death.
  • The woman manages to free him, correctly speaking what is the greatest desire of women, but the knight is very sad because he does not want to marry an ugly woman.

At no point in the story, the author's goal is to cause empathy and make the public sympathize with the knight, on the contrary, the narrator wants to satire the false chivalry of men and show how they are driven by lust and not by wisdom.
