The Franklin's Tale
So it starts of that he is talking about beautiful girl that he wants to marry and that he will treat her right and do everything he can to make her fall in love and become his. They talk about how love is not something that can be forced but that she had to love him back and not be controlled. He says that he will never cheat on her and he will always be faithful to her. He then had to leave because he was a knight and she was all sad without him because her true love left for two years. While he was gone, her friends comforted her by telling her everything was going to be alright and he started to write her letters home saying that he is all good and taking care. So i kind of got lost in the middle because it got realllyy confusing. But then she starts to talk about going to party's with her neighbor and how she still remained faithful. The neighbor starts to make advances on her, but she totally denies him. When he comes back he finds out about what happens. Then i got lost because it started to talk about money and a book. so the ending got very confusing but it was talking about the three of them and how it was kind of a love triangle.
I am pretty sure i got the whole tale right, but it was very long and very confusing. So the moral of the story id that he loved a girl, stayed faithful while gone, and he came back to his wife and everything was good. It was also about the love triangle that happened while he was away.
I know that there is a huge part that i left out about how she stands over the rocks and wishes they were gone, but i do not know what really happened.
