The Canterbury Tales. Wow.

The knight finds out from the old woman the secret of "what women desire most". The knight reports back to the queen and tells her that what women desire most is "self-same sovereignty".

If you don't remember what this means, see the side note in your book on page 160.


Do you think that the knight is on target with this answer? Explain.

Once again, failure to post homework results in a ZERO.
