The widow in the "Nun's Priest," by Chaucer reflects the life of a peasant woman who lives in poor conditions. this woman hasn't inherited any wealth from her husband only misery. Unlike the Wife's Bath who accumulated wealth by marrying several husbands. Due to her economic conditions, she lives a life very different from other widows because she had nothing to fight for and therefore her life is just like any poor person who has to work very hard to make the end.
