Rash promise
The rash promise is a common motif in medieval and folk literature, especially fairy tales. Also described as a blind promise or rash boon, it is classified as Aarne-Thompson M223 and likely has an Oriental origin.
The motif involves a character who makes a promise pertaining to love to another character—they promise to grant them their love if an impossible wish is granted, or promise them anything they ask for as long as the other person saves them from a life-or-death situation. A notable example of the first is Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Franklin's Tale", itself partly based on Boccaccio's ''The Filocolo'': Dorigen, a married woman whose husband is absent, promises another suitor that he may have her if she makes the rocks on the coast of Brittany disappear.〔 An example of the second variation is found in Chaucer's "The Wife of Bath's Tale", where the main character, a young rapist knight, threatened with execution if he cannot answer the question "what do women want", promises an older woman (the proverbial "loathly lady") anything she desires if she can provide the answer (and she desires to marry him).
