Total unwavering love, sacrifice and submission, this is the what woman really want. An old witch swindled her way into a loveless marriage with a young man who wanted to know the true heart’s desire of woman. She explained to him that woman want to be in charge, the head of the house, the last say. The man hated the marriage until the witch explained to that man that she was a loyal wife who would be an enjoyable companion. This changed his perspective and she looked past her wrinkly face and grew to love her. When they kissed she changed herself into a lovely young beautiful woman. Now that the witch was no longer old the man was completely contempt with the marriage.
“Love makes an ugly and rude person shine with all beauty, knows how to endow with nobility even one of humble birth, can even lead humility to the proud,” The old woman in the tale, “The Wife of Bath”, was a humble and wise lady. She saw something in the man that compelled her to help and marry him. Her love for him looked past the ugliness of his soul, his rude attitude, and unwillingness to listen. Her love inspired him to listen and made him understand that love was more than looks that can be shown off to friends and will fade. Love was a commitment to be loyal and to always be there for your partner.
