The Comparison's Tale

Today in class we were given two comparisons for our story, the Monk's Tale. The first being The Miller's Tale. Our tales were similar in that Chaucer was criticizing the hierarchy by giving them bad characteristics. Although in another sense they were complete opposites with The Miller's tale being raunchy and full of affairs and lust while The Monk's tale were stories that were from the bible so there was no sense of that. The other story told was The Cook's tale which was different in ours that The Cook's tale was a main focus on displaying the Cook's characters while The Monk's tale was displaying humanities character in general, yet again these two stories criticized those who had higher standing in nobility.
