In "The Wife of Bath's Tale" by Geoffrey Chaucer, according to Chaucer, the poor are more wealthy than people with great amounts of money because the poor have greater knowledge through God, better wisdom, and do not have to worry about having something stolen. The poor become very wealthy from the knowledge they obtain whenever they feel lowly, which bring themselves closer to God. They gain their knowledge from learning what is holy. Poor people are wealthier than rich people, also, because they have wisdom that rich people are not capable of having. This wisdom is from working hard to improve their social standing patiently, but accepting where they are at the time. Rich people always live in worry and fear of having something stolen from them, while poor people can be relieved that they do not have anything to be stolen. Because poor people have nothing to be stolen, they can live better lives with a wealth of knowledge, wisdom, and happiness. Because poor people do not have any money, they learn important aspects of life and become wise and knowledgeable with wealth, much more than the wealth that rich people have.
