T r u t h


First, it is important to mention that I enjoy reading poems because I consider that poetry is a meaningful way to express all what we have in mind.
This poem received the name of “truth” because Chaucer wanted to demonstrate that as a society we should improve our behavior to find the right way to be free. Because by helping others we can recah the salvation.

According to the phrase “for greed entails hate and social climbing uncertainty” he may refers to all what we do has a future consequence. So, he is advisin us to stop commiting bad actions in order to live in pecae with our peers. Now, thinking about the religious implications, I would say they are easy to find. The previous phrase is appropriate to represent that not hurting others we will be saved.

Why Chaucer says: Restrain yourself from giving advices to others but then he claims what is sent you, receive in obedience. This kind of contradiction makes sense to me because we need to be aware that every day life brings diffciult situations. So, it is important to struggle against them without fear to live in truth being a good person.
