Presentation transcript:

The Miller’s Tale By: Geoffrey Chaucer Chloe Clarridge

Who is Telling the Tale? Then Present The Miller Eager, drunk ready to tell his story He apologizes, blaming his pervertedness and foul language on being under the influence= alcohol Some refuse for him to continue his story, but, his attitude of “F-it” makes him more comical! Then Present

The Prologue: The Tale Itself.. The Monk. The Host, “ Who wants to tell his story, the Monk?”. The Miller, “ I want to tell my tale RIGHT NOW!”. The Reeve, “No, you’re drinking.”

The Tale Itself.. Characters: Nicholas the astronomer that lives with the carpenter and sleeps with his wife… Alisoun sexy young woman married to the carpenter, but sleeping with Nicholas Absolon the clerk that is in love with Alisoun and kisses her butt (literally) John The carpenter that is married to Alisoun

The Tale Itself.. (continued) What is it?  Fabliau (definitely comical!) What happens? Nicolas wants to have sex with Alisoun even though she is married to John. They follow through with the love affair by tricking John into thinking there is going to be another Noah’s flood. While Nicolas and Alisoun have coitus, Absolon calls for Alisoun just for a kiss and she sticks out her butt and he kisses her behind. John sees the affair, but is known as the town kook.

The Connection to other Tales. The Knight tells of a story where love = love at first site (like Trolius has for Criseyde) The Miller changes: love = BIG fat Joke! Miller putting down the Knight’s tale The Reeve & Miller= flyting Kiss my “naked ers” 

Themes. Social Class Romance Sex Love vs. Lust The Miller turned the Knight’s tale of courtly/ honorable love (typical for his class) to love is nothing but a word(his class) Sex Love vs. Lust

Themes. (continued) Religion Women are sex objects Degrading of Women Chaucer satirizes religious hypocrisy through Alboson’s abuse of position Nicolas uses Noah’s flood as a hoax to have sex Nicolas plays the role of God The believers suffer in the end (John the carpenter) Women are sex objects Women ability to manipulate men

Research Project Chaucer’s “hatred” towards women Is it Chaucer’s view of women or is it the teller of the tale view of women? The variation of characters, portraying different religions and classes Love Vs. Lust
