What women love most...


As we could see on "The Wife of Bath", she got married five times, and in that period of time it was like a very libertine behavior. If I make a comparison about this and what happened in the past, I can say that now is completely different because it does not matter how many times a woman can get married, or probably people do not get married even though they live with their boyfriend or girlfriend, but it is not so important. In the past, it was like a very religious life and this means that if the Church said that women could not be pregnant if she was not with her husband, but it does not matter that, because now we can see girls who are just 17 years old and they are pregnant. In conclusion I wanted to say that time affects the way of seeing what is happening.
Related to women and sex, I can say that they really want to be understood by men, they want to be loved and respected by them. If a man do this, they will feel like they are the more important and beautiful person in the world and in their hearts.

Chaucer: "Truth"




"Truth" is a poem which was written by Geoffrey Chaucer, an English poet. In this poem, Chaucer make an interesting analysis about what happened a that time. When I read this poem for the first time I started thinking about "what does it mean truth?". For me, the truth is what you are, and you do not have lie about who you are. Chaucer said that if we say the truth is going to be the better way to go to heaven. If I think about this, I can say that religious and God are really important issues, because there says that if we follow what God have said, you are going to be in the right way. But, what happen today? Is the Truth an important issue?, I think that nowadays, telling the truth is not a big issue, because now everybody lies. Analizing this, I can say that now, each person just know his/her own truth, but they do not know anything about the rest. For that reason it is really important to say the truth, it doesn´t matter if you don´t believe in God, but saying the truth can make you a better person.

"Be satisfied with what you have, even if it isn’t much..." Geoffrey Chaucer, "Truth"

My definition of an Epic poem!



What comes to my mind if I think about an "Epic poem", is that it can be something written by a really important person in the world. In that poem, he/she tells us about the important and sucessful issues that he/she has lived or probably another person lived. In that sense is like a biography of a relevant issue that had happened in the past or probably it can be also a fictional poem.
