diction
Alisoun is merely the sum of her physical parts --> obvious from the way nicholas lusts after her
also john, the husband, is seen caring about his wife for her exterior as he keeps her locked away (jealously)
By focusing on words like "hips (hip bones)", "loins", "queynte", Chaucer sexualizes her like an animal
--> making sex the only and main characteristic of Alisoun
By drawing attention to things like her hips, legs, and loins, the reader's attention is draw to such parts and describing her in animalistic comparisons and language makes sexuality her main and possibly only character trait.
-> the use of "deerne love" again suggests that for him, Alisoun is just another married girl to be wooed and violated
--> not worthy of a personality
