Audrey Hepburn played Holly Golightly in the film, Breakfast at Tiffany's. Holly's character portrayed many similar characteristics as The Wife of Bath. The Wife of Bath was married five times and Holly was previously married as well. Both Wife of Bath and Holly were unhappily married. Both characters had strong independence and used their bodies to get what they want.
The Wife of Bath showed characteristics of being talkative, aggressive, and arguementive, which are all the same traits as Holly. Both characters also were smart in a common-sense way but not quite intellectually.
The Wife of Bath had many elegant and extravagant possessions and tried to portray to others a luxurious lifestyle. Holly wore big flashy jewelry, long black gloves, and had her hair well kept everyday. She often wore a huge gigantic hat to try symbolize her high status in society. Holly was always around high socialites and around people of upper class. And of course she was a fan of Tiffany's Jewelry which the movie is named after, and is on the path of becoming a modern day Wife of Bath.
