Graham Luber Comparison Blog.

Upon comparing the The Miller's tale and The Knight's Tale, they both seem to have some common points. Love, greed, jealousy, are all important aspects too these stories. In the nights tale you had two knights Arcita and Palamon who were cousins. They ended up fighting each other to win over the girl called Emily. The story ends in the death of one cousin,(Chaucer lines:693-696) "O Sire, what need for more ado? We have deserved our deaths at the hands of you. Two woeful wretches are we, two captives That are encumbered by our own sad lives;". Both stories were really arbitrary the way the end. Such as in the Miller's Tale these three men are all after the same woman, and she is very callow because she is young. She likes to mess around with their heads which isn't good because it ends up in result with the town thinking her husband is mentally insane. Basically these two teach morals about being in love and what are the consequences that can come from obsession. With these stories they have a contiguous flow about what messages they teach about the seven deadly sins.
