Love is defined as the feeling of tender affection for someone (Encarta Dictionary). In the past, love was always limited by many rules set by the court of love in France. These rules are both approved and disapproved by different people of the time. The Wife of Bath both approves and disapproves of the 4 laws through her 5 lovers; Sir Gawain approves and disapproves of laws through his code of knightly honor. However, in our globalized world, people view love as 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, seen as bringing financial benefits to the participant and their family. In those days, love was unrelated as many marriages were arranged marriages. Despite the origin of courtly love, it gives us some great ideas 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 humans should have only one love and not practice polygamy. Unfortunately, this phrase was at odds with Islamic laws since they allowed a man to marry four wives. In contrast, Christians believed that there can be only one love for humans, because love is united by God and inseparable by humans. Even though there are different views on this issue, I agree with having only one life partner. Having only one life companion allows us to have less financial and moral burden to provide for the family's needs and therefore improve our life. Another law stated that “the ease of attaining love makes it of little value; the difficulty of love makes it precious.” This... middle of paper ... might not want to dishonor his knightly code regarding marriage to the lady. Therefore, the belief and hope that the wife will love her husband again leads to the conclusion that love is always reborn despite the obstacles encountered. Overall, the Knight agrees on most of the rules of courtly laws and has conflicting 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 some 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 knightly code of honor. We can have different opinions on courtly love and choose to agree with the Wife of Bath or the Knight..
