To Christians, the love of it is the root of all evil. To generals, it is the sinews of war; the revolutionaries, the shackles of labor.

As this reversal happens and the Merchant satirizes Januarie blindness, Chaucer reveals the Merchant's blindness, giving him the very significance that he had spent his whole tale trying to deny. Januarie falsifies and destroys import as he loses himself in his "fantasye", reducing reality to objects that he believes he can mold to his own lustful imagination.

Januarie, therefore, concerns himself with the worth of an object rather than the object itself and, as he tries to find a bride, quite literally tries to shop for the girl who will become his wife: "Heigh fantasye and curious bisynesse Fro day to day gan in the soule impresse Of Januarie aboute his marriage.
