3. Explain - in your own words - what the tales are about.
The Miller's Tale:
The Miller's Tale is about a student called Nicholas, who studied astrology. Nicholas boarded with a wealthy but ignorant old carpenter named John, who was jealous and very possessive of his sexy eighteen-year-old wife named Alisoun. One day, the carpenter leaves and Nicholas and Alisoun began flirting. Nicholas grabs Alisoun and she threatens to cry for help. Then she begins to cry and after a few sweet words, she agrees to sleep with him when it is safe to do. So she is worried that John will found out. But Nicholas is confident he can avoid the carpenter.
The Pardoner's Tale:
The Host reacts to the Physician’s Tale, which has just been told. He is shocked at the death of the young Roman girl in the tale and mourns the fact that her beauty ultimately caused the chain of events that led her father to kill her. Wanting to cheer up, the Host asks the Pardoner to tell the group a merrier, farcical tale. The Pardoner agrees, but will continue only after he has food and drink in his stomach. Other pilgrims interject that they would prefer to hear a moral story, and the Pardoner again agrees.
The Wife of Bath's Tale:
The Wife of Bathe Tale is about a squire of King Arthur who raped a young woman who was still a virgin. Because he had raped her, his punishment is the death by decapitation. The queen saved him, she persuaded her husband to let him live if he would complete her assignment. The assignment was: He had to find out what a woman desires the most. He had to be back before the end of the year with the answer. If he made it, he would stay alive.
4. Select one of the 3 Tales and write a letter with a problem and a matching response.
The Miller's Tale:
Hello, I met a very nice young lady but she is already married to a carpenter. So it is difficult to find contact but her. But how could I best seduce her without the carpenter finding out?
I think you can best seduce her by giving a bunch of flowers to her if her husband is not there for a while. If she likes you, you'll meet her more often and the one comes the other, but you have to make sure that the carpenter does not see you because then you have a problem. Because then there is a chance that the man will make nasty plans to make you suffer. Because he is jealous quickly.
