what do women desire?

We want to be understood, loved and safe but at the same time we want to be free, independent and have fun. Probably all those desires are in our genes. Allison had the same needs just like contemporary women have..

We want to be independent but we want to depend on someone. Who can understand women? Even I can not understand myself.





I think that she was like Samantha Jones of Sex and the city, “she had sex not only to give birth but, she just wanted to have fun”. Allison could be Samantha in those times. Both had the control of their life and they discovered their sexuality, body and feelings and both looked for their desires. Clearly Allison was very brave because she was against of all church laws and against the role that society imposed on women.

I would like to follow her way of thought because I believe she was very courageous and she was very liberal. Who has 5 husbands nowadays? I’d like t have 5 husbands and if one of them does not understand me, I could kick him out and I would just 4 husbands left. The same happens if one of them have sexual problems I’d have the rest to solve that problem.

Briefly, men would never understand what women desire, curiously enough we don’t know what we want.

Thank God of all.





Chaucer called this poem truth because he wanted to show how truth could help us to have a better life. Form him truth is a change for our lives, it is a salvation state. Through it we have the redemption of our sins and we could be closer to God.

He meant by “for greed entails hate and social climbing uncertainty”, our society is forcing us to buy and sell unnecessary material things in order to have more social status, for instance if you don not have an I- phone you are outside of the technological world and if you are outside of that world you are old fashioned. We are always trying to have the latest technology to be the more popular in our society.

The same happens in some works, it does not matter if you have to attack your college, in that way you could have a better job, earn more money and have a new car. In fact you could have a better social status. We can not watch with envy what our neighbor has, we have to be proud of what God gave us. As I wrote before truth represents the redemption of our sins and that is the religious implication of this poem.

After reading this poem I think it is related to our capitalist society. It wants us to make addict of consumerism without taking in consideration the truth.

My definition of an epic poem :D


¿What is an epic poem?
I think that it is a way to tell us a story through a long poem. It had fictional situations and through heroes represents the values of the society and they have to fight against their enemies who represent the evilness of the society. It is also related to a especial context and events.
Epic poems are still alive because some stories like Harry Potter that has a hero who demonstrates his kindness and the bravery.
