The wife of Bath's tale
In the reading it states, "And whan the knight saugh verraily al this, That she so fair was and so yong therto, For joye he hente hire in his armes two; His herte bathed in a bath of blisse. A thousand tyme a-rewe he gan hire kisse, And she obeyed him in every thing That might doon him plesance or lyking."(lines 1250-1256). This leaves me wondering is that all that pleased him and made him give her 1,000 kisses? Was it not that it made her happy or that she was happy that would please him? What is it that makes her happy and would he please her?
