I drive men mad for love of me, easily beaten, never free. What am I?
Common Wrong Answers
“Money”
While money is often associated with love and desire, it is a broader concept that doesn't specifically align with the clues of being 'easily beaten' and 'never free' as directly as gold.
“Diamonds”
Diamonds can drive people to madness for love, but they are often viewed as a symbol of commitment rather than a material that is 'easily beaten', which is more representative of gold.
“Love”
Love can indeed drive people mad, but it does not fit the physical characteristics described in the riddle, such as being 'easily beaten' and 'never free', which point specifically to a material object like gold.
