No New Tale to Tell

From reading the Pardoner's Tale, we realize that many people don't trust each other even though they act it. They might turn into backstabbers as time goes by and their greed grows. I do realize that money is usually one of the main reasons people have greed. Money is a useful thing to have. Many people don't have enough of it. Some people marry for money or status. Humans have a lot of pride, and they like to show off. Some try to pretend to be modest (the modest even like the attention), but on the inside is probably a bunch of pride swelling up. Some people don't even attempt to be modest and act incredibly conceited. For me, I'm incredibly proud of having my Nexus 4, which is probably the best phone ever that was created in 2012 (I'm saying this because the LG G2 seems amazing, but I love my Nexus 4 too much to admit it.) Love is probably another thing that people want, but probably don't get. That's where the Wife of Bath's Tale comes in. In her story, the knight ends up marrying a woman that he'd rather not marry, but realizes that he can only choose two things: beautiful and unfaithful or ugly and faithful. For some reason, I thought of Kim Kardasian while typing this. A decision many people don't like choosing is usually based around love. Some people are attracted to physical details, which is why they end up with a beautiful but unfaithful partner. I feel like females have always wanted some sort of dominance over males because the males have always been preferred over the females. Some mothers even go to certain extremes to kill their child if it turned out to be female! As the years go by, I find that females are slowly receiving more recognition. I don't know whether or not it's a good thing, but at least the females are getting to state their opinion.
