"The Franklin's Tale," part of Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales," tells the story of Arveragus and Dorigen, a devoted couple. Arveragus, a noble knight, goes to England to seek his fortune, leaving his wife, Dorigen, with a promise of fidelity. While he is away, Dorigen is tempted by Aurelius, a young squire who offers to remove the treacherous rocks threatening her husband's safe return. She reluctantly agrees, but when Arveragus returns, he values honor and love over her promise to Aurelius, leading to a profound exploration of duty, love, and the complexities of human relationships.
