Love is defined as the feeling of tender affection for someone (Encarta Dictionary). In the old days, love had always been bound by many rules established by the court of love in France. These rules are both approved and disapproved by various figures of the time. The Wife of Bath approves and disapproves of the 4 laws through her 5 lovers; Sir Gawain approves and disapproves of laws through his knight's code of honor. However, in our globalized world, people consider love to be liberal and not dictated by laws. I believe that the four rules of courtly love from the Middle Ages are concepts that can still be applied in modern society. Originally, these rules were established for a successful marriage that was perceived as one that brought financial benefits to the participants and their families. During that era, love was unrelated as many marriages are arranged marriages. Despite the origin of courtly love, it provides us with good concepts about love and romance. The first rule stated that “No one can be bound by double love.” This law tells us about the belief that human beings should have only one love and not practice polygamy. Unfortunately, this phrase did not agree with Islamic laws as they allowed a man to marry four women. In contrast, Christians believed that there can only be one love for human beings since love is brought together by God and that it is inseparable from human beings. Even though there are different opinions on this issue, I agree with the idea of ​​having only one life partner. Having a life partner allows us to have fewer financial and moral burdens in supporting the family and, therefore, to improve our lives. Another law stated that “the easy attainment of love makes it of little value; the difficulty of love makes it precious”. This... middle of paper... would not want to dishonor his code of chivalry regarding marriage to the lady. Therefore, the belief and hope that the woman will love her husband again leads to the conclusion that love always revives despite the barriers faced. Overall, the Knight agrees on most rules of the Court laws and has contradictory opinions on love with the Wife of Bath. Courtly love is a moral test that the Knight must endure. In conclusion, the idea of ​​courtly love has its Christian centrality. Although not widely used today, the law presents good ideas on the topic of love and romance. The Wife of Bath approves and disapproves of laws through her 5 lovers while Sir Gawain approves and disapproves of laws through his knight's code of honor. We can have different opinions about courtly love and we can choose whether to agree with the Wife of Bath or with the Knight.
