The last question is the most provocative one. In The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer one of the pilgrims, the Wife of Bath, tells a story of a knight who raped a fair young maiden. King Arthur issues a decree that the knight must be brought to justice. When the knight is captured, he is condemned to death, but Queen Guinevere intercedes on his behalf and asks the King to allow her to pass judgment upon him. The Queen tells the knight that he will be spared his life if he can discover for her what it is that women most desire. What do you think is the right answer that the knight seeks and eventually finds?
love
money
beauty
power
