Answer:

Hercules became famous yet his own girlfriend poisoned him.

Step-by-step explanation:

The detail about how 'Herculus became famous yet his own girlfriend poisoned him', from Chaucer's "The Monk's Tale", best demonstrates that fortune is a blind prosperity that should not be trusted by anyone.

Herculus got fame and gained strength based on his popularity but he was betrayed by his own girlfriend who later poisoned him which gives a lesson that no one is trust worthy.
