No New Tale to tale

All of the good stories in the world usually are not that original. Maybe the author may switch up the characters, the heroin my change etc. But, the most important part of the story; the meaning or lesson is always borrowed. Their really are no new tales to tale. One can discover this in the Wife of Bath tale and the Pardoners tale. In the Wife of Bath, their is a a noble knight who commits a vicious crime against a maiden. Instead of being sentenced to death, the queen sends him on a mission  to discover what women truly want. He went around for a year asking as many women as he could this question and he got a variety of answers. When coming across a old woman he asks her for the answer and she tells him that women truly want to make their own decisions and not be subject to their husbands. By telling him this answer the old woman required that he marry her. To touch on the topic of what women want, I don't believe that their really is one definite answer to that question. Women want many things just like men. I think that gender inequality does play a huge role and that theme is timeless. Some women do wish to be equal to men, others like that typical role of a woman. I honestly don't wish to be subject to any man and I think that I am completely capable of doing the same things a man can do. I bet I could do it better as well. 

In the Pardoners tale, the Pardoner tells a story of three men who find some money and completely crazy and were full of greed. The theme that Greed is the root of all evil arises and I completely agree with that. If you take the modern era for an example. Today we are all about technology and it runs and sometimes ruins our lives. People will kill one another because of what they have. This is timeless and you can find people acting the same way in Middle age Europe.
