The Silver Rule


In The Wife of Bath's Tale, the reader is shown and taught about a great rule: The way you approach things determines how they appear. When the knight accepted his wife’s appearance he was able to see her true beauty. A happy ending concluded the tale, which proves how important it is to look at the glass half full. The reappearance of a knight and his marriage to the old lady might be a union between Chaucer’s depiction of low class and high class. It might be the combination of the Knights tale and the Millers tale.
