What does the hag teach the young knight about gentility in her bedroom lecture to him?
A gentile husband always lets his wife have the upper hand.
A man cannot be genteel by upbringing; he is simply born gentile by virtue of his family.
A man is not born genteel because of his noble family; rather gentility comes from cooperating with the grace of God.
Gentility corrupts character; do not aspire to be a gentleman or you may confuse ugliness with beauty.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
45 sec • 1 pt
What defense does the hag provide for her poverty and her ugliness? In other words, why is her ugliness an advantage to her husband, the knight?
No other man will ever be attracted to her; therefore, she will by necessity remain a loyal wife forever.
She will always have the pity of fellow human beings, especially those who honor the aged.
Since her ugliness largely stems from her old age, it is accompanied by wisdom.
He will never be distracted or “dragged down” by her physical beauty, which is only superficial and matters little anyway.
