No New Tale To Tell

        There's always been greed. It's not new. The desire to possess wealth and materialistic objects beyond our actual need for survival has been apart of us. In the Pardoner's tale, because of their greed they all ended up killing each other and in the end backstabbing each other. There was no trust between these men which ended in their death. In modern times there are examples of this where in bank robbers end up killing each other for the money or when gang members kill each other in transactions to take both the money and whatever is being sold. Even in modern days we have backstabbing because of greed to take more and more.
        The Wife of Bath taught us men should listen to their wives and view them as equals and in modern times we see that in feminism where we should treat women as equals in our society like men but now in our times in society we see that so much more where its valued in our society and treating women as objects is looked down upon in our times. In this tale we see how women wish to be able to govern their husband but I don't think all women want to dominate their husbands, I think they want respect to be able to make their own decisions.
