A Promise Is A Promise
After ready Canterbury Tales, I have picked out 3 stories that talk about keeping promises…
In the Clerk’s Tale – Patient Griselda,
Griselda promised to always do what her husband asked if he would allow her to take care of her father in her new life.
In the Wife of Bath’s Tale – What Woman Likes Most, the young knight promised the old woman that he would do the first thing that she asked him if she would tell him the right answer.
In the Franklin’s Tale – Three Promises, Dorigen promised Aurelius that she would love him if he could take away all the rocks from the sea and Aurelius promised to pay the magician a thousand pounds if he could remove the rocks.
Is it always right to keep a promise? Why or Why not? Imagine you were Griselda, the young knight, Aurelius or Dorigen, what would you do? ...
