Chaucer's Miller's Tale as Low Tragedy

I learned why people laugh. They smile because it hurts because it is the only thing that can make it not hurt it. --- Robert A. Hainline, Strange Land of Strangers Story of Joe Miller's story has been reviewed in hundreds of ways in various ways for centuries. Every time I saw it, it was considered a comedy's face value due to the health of the mill and its status as fabliaux. I will look at this work from another perspective as seen from the other side of the fence.

The second story in the famous Canterbury story of Geoffrey Chaucer reminds us that it is targeting high or low audience. "Mirror's story" provides clear and interesting play for the medieval ordinary British life, love, and suffering. However, this devastated story may also be a satire to low aristocrats whose opinions of the general public are low. Please imagine that the pilgrim goes to Canterbury. When the knight completes his story, the organizer invites monks to tell the next story. But he intercepted the mirror. He already admits that he is too drunk, but he still claims to make the next story. He tells John's story of an elderly man, Carpenter, who married a young British Allison. Unfortunately, Alison also has a competitive investigator, scholar Nicholas and poor staff Ascon. Together they form the triangle of love. Nicholas and Absolon are competing with the support of Alison, but all of them hurt the poor old man John.

In particular, it appears in the "Mirror Story" that is part of the 14th century Canterbury story. In this story a smart young scholar named Nicholas rents a house from an old carpenter and his beautiful 18 year old wife Alison. Nicolas wanted to seduce Allison, so he caught her: it is also Joe, full of stupid grumblings. "Queynte" is actually a fun device or a sophisticated device, but for now it sounds like "屄", but "spill" means "death or destruction", but it is also an orgasm I will bring it. Implication. Like a card, Nicholas grabs Alison's cat and talks about how much he wants.
