The connection between the painting and the theme chosen for "The Wife Of Bath" tales is showing that women should have the same power as the men and should be treated the same and that they should have control. The theme of The Wife Of Bath tales is Sovereignty for women. Women want to be considered equal to their husband or brother and father and be in control and be the masters. In the Middle Ages women were forced to have arranged marriages and they had to obey any husband, brother uncle, etc. It's important to treat women equal and have the same control. They should not be treated for like they are worth less. And that one does not dominate in the other. I think this painting fits well with my theme because it is showing a man crowning the woman. I interpret this as giving the power to her. Men were usually seen as the higher power but the fact the he is kneeling in front of her and placing the crown on her head it shows that women are just the same as men and that women should have the same power as the men. Women should have a chance to have the same rank as men do. That is why this painting fits well with the theme because the its the coronation of a women becoming queen by the king so its giving her power, the same as the guy.
