Reeve's Tales

The miller’s tale connects too many part of the tale in the Canterbury tales, but the prologue of the Reeve’s tale is mixed with the prologues of the miller’s tale. The story of the reeve’s tale is about this miller name Simon and the two students that decide to take revenge on the miller.
There was these brook where stands a mill, who was a miler that lived there once and his name was Simon but people he knew by his nickname Symkyn. This man is the tape man that was ostentatious clothing and could play the bagpipe, wrestle and fish. His face was round and had flatted nose and all ways carry knife with him. His wife came from noble family. Symkyn was a jealous man and his wife was self-important, they had twenty-year-old daughter name Molly.
Symkyn cheated the college worst of and he stole meal and corn from the dying steward of Cambridge. There were two students that attend the same college, as Symkyn their name was John and Aleyn. Those two students all ways ask permission from the provost to see the corn ground at the mill, on like Symkyn: he just likes to steal things without permission. Aleyn tells Symkyn that he is there to ground the corn and brings it back to their self since the sick steward cannot. While they ground the corn, Symkyn found that John and Aleyn horse was on toad. When Aleyn and John were gone the miller took part of their flour and told his wife to knead it into dough. Then Aleyn and John returned to find their meal but it was gone, since it was knight the miller offers Aleyn and John to sleep over in his house. During the night John felt humiliated that he was sleeping while Aleyn having sex with the daughter molly. In the morning molly told Aleyn where he could find the bread that she helped her father steal. Aleyn want to tell John of his idea how to steal the bread but Symkyn hears about what had happened between Aleyn and molly. So he grabs Aleyn neck and Aleyn get mad and start fighting to Symkyn.

The Reeve’s tale is a common comic tale intentional to humiliate the miller. The Reeve pursues on clear dispute in history, which the Arthur indicates in the story’s prologues. Symkyn was the central character of the tale. Symkyn was the miller who has a sense of incredible pride with regards to his highborn wife. Symkyn’s wife and daughter are subject to intense. But the Reeve descripts the daughter as “thick” and “round”. The primarily purpose of story was to humiliated the miller Symkyn.

The Reeve's tale was compassion toward its characters. The formal heroes of the tale, Aleyn and John, were more compassionate than Symkyn and his family. Although they are students they come from the more rustic northern area of England. When they seduce the miller's wife and daughter, they do so merely out of opportunity and jealousy. The two students in the Miller's Tale and which might make the characters made more compassionate. In the end, most of the characters in the tale suffer some injury, but most of them were on the tale miller. Over all the story of Reeve was discretion of Symkyn and the two students.
