One inference I can make about the Wife of Bath in "The Tale of the Wife of Bath" is that she is money hungry. In this response I am going to explain why I think she is money hungry. She had given hints to being money hungry, she never fully came out and said she marries for money or some type of goods. One clue the author provides is that she is constantly marrying. Are inferences the same as predictions? I would say yes because they are both opinions in my view.

I think the Wife of Bath is money hungry because she is constantly marrying over and over again. She has five husbands and she believes that all of them have a debt to pay to her. She admits withholding sexual favors from them until give her material goods of some sort.
