Parallels Between the Knight's and Miller’s Tales
Multiple parallels exist between the Knight’s and the Miller’s tales in Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. Characters, plot, and the supernatural are three common elements that exist between the two. The two tales vary in type, character class, and narration. The Kknight tells a chivalric tale containing knightly virtue, honor, and courtly love. In contrast, the Miller’s Tale is a delete the "a" ribald tale, Delete "tale" because it's repeated too close to the first one and is obvious. End the sentence because "ribald" is redundant with lust. It is full of humor, lust, and flatulence. The characters in each tale differ from one another by class. Characters ofin the Knight’s tTale are nobles who are honorable and good, while the Miller’s Tale characters are a part of the lower class and are adulterous and deceitful. AThe (there can be only one "final." final differentiation can be made between each narrator’s use of language. Although both are adept at creating beautiful imagery, the reader can see a difference between the Kknight and Mmiller’s narrations in their descriptions of their leading ladies. Emily is compared to a rose, a lily, the spring, and an angel,; while delete "while" because both tales are not told at the same time. Connect the two clauses with that semi-colon. Alison’s body is delicate, like that of a weasel, her apron is as white as morning milk, and her features are compared to thedelete 'the' plums delete the "s" and pear trees. The Miller’s imagery is less conventional and less elevated than the Kknight’s, which is (you need the "which", otherwise, it could be the knight being drawn) drawn from village or farm life. These three differences stem from the class differences between the two narrators.
With the exceptions of differences in class, the characters of in the Miller’s Tale parallel the characters of the Knight’s Tale to a great extent delete "to a great extent". Things are parallel or they are not. Parallel is an absolute. All the main characters presented by the Kknight have a delete "a" because characters are plural counterparts ("ounterparts must be plural, too) in the Miller’s Tale. John, the old carpenter and husband of Alison, matches Theseus, the old king of Athens. Alison, the young and beautiful wife of John, matches Emily, the beautiful sister of the queen. Nicholas and Absalom are matched to Palamon and Arcita. Just as Arcita and Palamon sought after delete "after". It is redundant. Emily, Nicholas and Absalom seek Alison. The difference between the two situations is the delete "is the" to make it "the two situations lies in the [ Kknight’s characters who have a true love for Emily,. while delete "while", for the same reason as above. Use a semi-colon. the delete "the" Alison’s courtiers only desire desire only (otherwise they don't do anything else, even breathe to sleep with her.
Another parallel is presented in the form of the plot. The Kknight describes the courtly love triangle of Arcita, Palamon, and Emily,; while delete "while" the Miller presents the pilgrims with the earthy threesome of Nicholas, Absalom, and Alison. In the Knight’s Tale, Arcita and Palamon attempt to win Emily over in the proper manner: a dual duel. The pair assembles two armies and fights for Emily’s hand in marriage. This show of love is noble in comparison to Nicholas’ deceit of the carpenter and the spat with Absalom. The Mmiller presents Absalom as the traditional courtly lover, but this is only a parody of the lovers in the Knight’s Tale. The window scene between involving Absalom and Nicholas parallels the dual duel in the Knight’s Tale, only but is much less refined. In an the exchange of flatulence and hot iron, Nicholas and Absalom quarrel over Alison, who provoked the entire scene by tricking Absalom into kissing her “****.” <They stared this out, its the middle english slang for buttox(4RS3)
A final Another final? Maybe you should delete both "finals." parallel can be seen in the common role the supernatural plays in the life of each character. In the Knight’s Tale, the gods interfere with the lives of the humans through omens, miracles, and disasters. Palamon, Arcita, and Emily each receive an omen from the god who they pray to to whom they pray, whether it change "it" to "the omen". "It" could be the god is good, as with Arcita and Palamon, or disappointing, as with Emily. The earthquake is both delete "both". It is redundant. a disaster and a miracle. While disastrous for Arcita, the earthquake is miraculous for Palamon, who had lost outright but won because of it. The Miller includes the supernatural in his tale through his mockery of it. The “prophecy” of another flood is merely a scam for sex. The Mmiller mocks the stress placed by the Kknight on the supernatural and fate, instead placing emphasis on random chaos and trickery.
The parallels between these two tales are undeniable. The common characters and plot elements connect the two tales. The Mmiller does a wonderful job of parodying the Kknight’s emphasis on the supernatural. Despite these similarities between the two delete "between the two". It is redundant, the Mmiller does a good job of setting his story apart from the Kknight’s, while still delete "still". It is redundant. That is what "while" means here. managing to mock and poke fun at the chivalrous ideals presented in it.
