Extra Reading Diary: Canterbury Tales

Extra Reading Diary: Canterbury Tales

What is it that women wish for most? Hmm.  Initially I thought of respect.  I’m curious to see how the Knight figures out the answer! And to see what the answer actually is.
Bahaha, “One even insisted that a woman would rather keep a secret than do anything else, but of course that is nonsense, for we women cannot conceal things.”  That’s the best line in the whole story.



It’s noble that he’s going back.  Personally, I would probably hide out.  Especially back in those days when it was easy to hide away.



The Unknown Bride (cont.): What women desire most is to rule their husbands? What…??? That’s a bold answer I suppose.  
Oh man.  The old lady is going to make the Knight marry her! That’s perfect.  Though, since she saved his life, he should be more willing, I think.  Especially since if she’s that old then she won’t be around for too much longer.  

The Friar’s Tale: The Story of the Summoner:  What a weird way to start a friendship.

The Pardoners who went out to meet death: Honestly, that sounds like a pretty awesome life! or a typical night out for a college student.    Why do you keep living any longer when you are so old? What a terrible question.  This story took an interesting route.
