What I learned about the Merchant's Tale

The Merchant's Tale was about how marriage brings dreadfulness. Merchant's Tale was about how the Merchant's marriage was terrible. It was fine at first, but it became of sorrow. Instead of telling a story of his life he made up a tale of a knight who got married. The knight had the wrong assumptions.
There was a sixty year old knight named January who decided he wanted to get married. Eventually he met a woman named May. He wanted get a young wife so she could help him around the household. Eventually they got married and every thing was fine.
May was sweet at first, but then January became blind. Then May began to have an affair with January's servant Damian. They wrote love letters to each other. January could not see what was actually happening.
Then one day Damian wanted to woo May so they went into the tree and made love or lust if you will. Soon the gods gave January his sight back and he caught them, but then she fooled him and made up lies about what she did. She said she was fighting off Damian and January believe her. January remained foolish and January and May remained married.
I learned that women may look sweet at first, but they begin to show their true colors. They can be very sneaky and guys can be very sprung so they would not really care or pay attention. Women get away with a lot and marriages could all be based on lies. Marriages is truly sorrow.
