What woman love most


After reading the poem and the discussion I realized that people often believe that women are weak, in other words, that what they are looking for is someone who can look after them, in this case, a man. If you ask me I believe that the ones who believe this are completely wrong.

I think that what the woman in the poem was looking for was to have men under her control. She has her own life as an example, she married five times, and I believe that with this she wanted to have power over them. In the class discussion I realized that my classmates think that we are looking for someone who will treat us as a princess, but I think they are completely lost.


Even if men like it or not they depend on us, they are worried about us, and they need us. I am sure that we are not naïve, on the contrary, we are really intelligent and at the end we know what to say or what to do in order to have what we want.

"Truth"

I believed Chaucer called this poem “truth” because he thought he had the truth in his hands, in other words, he thought that he had the recipe to be a good human being. In the poem Chaucer wrote “For greed entails hate and social climbing uncertainty” in my opinion, he wrote this because he wanted to show that people is worried about trivial things. Money is the only concern they have and they are capable of doing horrible things in order to have it. Also religion has an important part in this poem, I believe that he expected people to change their way of living and to ask for forgiveness in order to take the “good” road.

I think this poem not only reflects how people lived in the past, it also reflect how people live in the present. We are always worried about what our neighbour is doing and what new unnecessary thing is on the market for buying it. We live in a materialistic society and we need to change that.

Epic Poem


According to my experience with books, poems, pieces of writting, etc. epic poems are poem in which a writter narates a fiction story or a myth. In those poems is very commmon to see a heroe and an antagonist. As far as I know all epic poem refers to heroic actions that someone did in the past and that someone decided to tell.
