Canterbury Tales
The Miller’s Prologue and Tale
Chaucer's most celebrated work is certainly The Canterbury Tales. Begun by the 1380s, it was never completed, and modern versions of it are productions of scholars, who have attempted to make the least bad arrangement of its various completed parts. Editors know these parts as "Fragments" but they are of considerable length.
Within a very detailed narrative about a visit to Canterbury, Chaucer sets a series of stories. These "tales" are narratives, mostly in verse (Chaucer's own story of Melibeeand The Parson's Tale are in prose). While the tales are coherent and skilful examples of the story-teller's art, each in its own right, Chaucer has contrived them in ways which increase our enjoyment: for example, each tale in some way reflects what we learn elsewhere about the character of the teller (in the General Prologue or in the prologues or linking narratives written for the individual tales).
Tales are grouped in ways which constitute debates on topical subjects (such as the nature of marriage) or to achieve effects of contrast: the Knight's Tale (a worthy tale, eloquently told by a speaker of the highest social class) is followed by the much shorter, bawdy Miller's Tale. We are led to think that this "low" narrative is in every way inferior to the Knight's, but the story-telling is masterly in its wit and economy: Chaucer at once shows that there is more than one way to tell your story, and that style should be appropriate to subject. Chaucer himself appears, not only as the recorder of the events on the journey and the stories he heard, but as a character in his own right. He makes judgements, frequently misleading, on the quality of the stories, and (a deft touch) telling his own first attempted tale (Sir Topaz) so boringly that he is stopped and made to try again with his tale of Melibee.
Presentations about the summary of each tale were presented in class and our own actual story version of this tale were also introduced to our peers.
and this was our story WINERY TALE
There was a time when a Young lady
Melody knows an old men who was the owner of a winery named
Rick this man felt in love of her and propose her to marry him, she accepted
because she knows he has a lot of money for her to finish her studies.
After some time in college she met 2
boys who were totally in love of her John and Collin but she want to be with
only one John, they stared talking and having lunch at school when some day
they stared planning how to get Rick out of their loop in order to spend one
night together without hiding each other; so they planned to create a party on
his winery all night, they rented from 10 to 8 am and because Rick was very
greedy, he accepted… that way Melody and John were alone all night while Rick
was working attending the party.
Melody
and Rick were so happy enjoying each other until Colling came to her house and he began to throw stones at her window for
Melody to open. When melody replied, and opened the window, Collin confessed
his love, but she advise him that she was in love with John and wanted to
escape with him, Collin said that he would not let them do that and that was
going to kill her, upon hearing this Melody closed the window scared and hurt his fingers.
enraged went to buy a gun and when he returned
he told them they will forget lives if
she gave him a kiss, she accepted, then instead of being her that will kiss the
men John came with a brilliant idea to put his butt out to his face for Collin
to kiss it, while Collin with his eyes closed waiting to kiss her beautiful
mouth... But when it approached John, this one had an accident because he had stomach
pain and is shooting a gas in the face of Collin, this furious began to shout
and shouted until they gave it to John a shot in Johns leg, John began to shout
desperate, Rick from the party heard all, Rick went out to his house running so
fast scared because of all the screaming, that felt down because of the clay,
he got dirty from head to toe , and all
of the party’ guesses were making fun of the poor and horned Rick.
