THE WIFE OF BATH'S TALE

INNER BEAUTY

      In The Wife of Bath’s Tale knight raped a young girl because she was beautiful. In the following parts he kept saying “ugly, wretch, old, disgusting, poor, low class” to his wife. But she kept insisting to love him.

   He abhorred because of her appearance. After marriage, she offered him a choice: either he can have her old and ugly, but a good and faithful wife, or he can have her young and beautiful, but with no guarantee of these other good qualities like cheating him with every men who’ll try to seduce her. The knight turns the decision over to his wife, asking her to make the choice the for sake of both.

  She tells him that she will be both: young and beautiful, and a faithful, good wife to him. The knight takes his young, beautiful wife in his arms and they live happily ever after. The wife is not only faithful and good, but also obedient to her husband for the rest of their lives together. 

  In this tale, Knight was caring about appearance so much. But when he started care about his wife, she chose to be both beautiful and faithful.

   However inner beauty is always more important than outer beauty.

   You may think it’s a chiseled face or a gorgeous physique that makes a person attractive. But more than anything else, it’s a person’s inner belief that they’re attractive that makes them more appealing to others.

  It’s true, physical appearances can be a bonus, but it’s something that’s easily overlooked when other traits are brought into the picture.

  Positive energy and self-confidence shine more than physical appearance.

  You’re beautiful if you believe you’re beautiful. You’re attractive if you feel attractive. Everyone only sees you as a projection of what you see when you look into the mirror.
