The Merchant's Tale" is one of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
We have yet another instance of an old foolish man being hoodwinked by a young bride.
The clear moral of the tale here is that an old man should not marry a young bride unless he can satisfy her. Failure to do this will only make a young bride look elsewhere for satisfaction.
The names of the characters are important; January symbolizes the old man, whereas May represents the young woman – Winter against Spring. Justinius, January’s friend is symbolized as a righteous man whose advice is rejected.
This new paperback edition--introduced by noted American writer John Updike--celebrates the 150th anniversary of this classic work. Much of Walden's material is derived from Thoreau's journals and contains such engaging pieces as "Reading" and "The Pond in the Winter." Other famous sections involve Thoreau's visits with a Canadian woodcutter and with an Irish family, a trip to Concord, and a description of his bean field.
"The Franklin's Tale" (Middle English: The Frankeleyns Tale) is one of The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. It focuses on issues of providence, truth, generosity and gentillesse in human relationships.
Chaucer now seems to provide a mid course between what the Wife of Bath advocated, where a woman has complete sovereignty over a man, and the Clerk’s Tale where a woman should be completely subservient. Unlike these two tales, the Franklin’s Tale has a thread of nobility running through it and all the characters portrayed.
