The Knight: let's read out loud
QUESTION: The Knight is one of the few pilgrims who provide no personal Prologue. Why do you suppose that is?
The tale of the Knight follows straight on from the General Prologue. Many of the pilgrims use their personal Prologues to pass comment on the tales that precede their own, but there is no tale before the Knight’s. Furthermore, the Knight is presented as an intelligent, but calm and reserved man. He is not the type to talk at length about himself, as some of the others do in their Prologues.

The Miller:
fabliau

Answer the questions on page 46 (1-4): 10 minutes, then we will discuss in class.
Slide 17 - Tekstslide
The Miller: answers
With an ugly warty nose, a big mount and a short, fat body, he cannot be said to be good looking, and his character is therefore likely to be as blemished as his appearance.
Yes. The Miller is not well behaved: he likes to fight, is argumentative and tells dirty stories. He also swindles his customers
a. When her husband is away, he grabs her and tries to kiss her. When she resists, he says he will die if he can’t have her and promises her all kinds of nice things. b. Alison is married to a dozy old man and was interested in Nicholas from the start; there was little conviction in her initial resistance to his advances. She threatens to scream, but doesn’t actually do so.
In the Prologue we are told that the Miller likes to tell dirty tales (‘tavern stories, filthy in the main’). Furthermore, he has red hair, which in the Middle Ages was often seen as a sign of a lecherous character.
