The Unanswerable Question Part Two

Writer's picture: Dalton MorrisonDalton Morrison

The last time I posted about this, I don't quite think I covered the whole things, so this time I'll be discussing how hard it would be to find the answer to the question in The Wife of Bath.


In The Wife of Bath, a knight sets out on a long journey to find out what all women want the most. He asks every woman he comes across the question, but they all answer differently. Even if two women answered the same thing, it didn't change the fact that most of the other women didn't agree, so it wasn't the right answer. The knight searched every village, castle, kingdom, and town he came across for the answer for a year straight, but still did not find the answer. Why could he not find the answer?



Why was the question impossible to answer, though? Shouldn't there be a good answer for such a simple question? The reason was that all people think differently, especially women. They all live in different places under different conditions, which makes them all want some things more or less than others. It is also simply a matter of how the brain works: every brain is made differently and is taught to think differently. All women wanting the exact same thing at the exact same time is impossible.


"Differences in the physical connections of the brain are at the root of what make people think and behave differently from one another. Researchers reporting in the February 6 issue of the Cell Press journal Neuron shed new light on the details of this phenomenon, mapping the exact brain regions where individual differences occur. Their findings reveal that individuals' brain connectivity varies more in areas that relate to integrating information than in areas for initial perception of the world" - ScienceDaily


I hope this post has been informational and useful if you were wondering about the knight's quest in The Wife of Bath or how the brain works!
