Third Entry of the Canterbury Tales 2/23/11

More than halfway through the book, some stories you can clearly see the moral of it, whether good or bad, and others I'm still trying to decipher what the moral actually was. The Cleric had a painful storyline of how a man tested his wife horribly to see if she was true to him. A lot of the tales contradict each other, with some saying how to marry a woman is the greatest thing you can do as a man, and others are saying it's the worst experience being tethered by their wives. It's a lot like life today, where some marriages the husband and wife are extremely dedicated, and all others have known are broken marriages. It's all about perception. I'm hoping for the next couple of tales to be about more than people cheating on marriages, and maybe friendship and whatever other substance tales can be about.
