From Greece to Oxford

The Canterbury tales, continues to show us the different points of view about life of each one of the characters that make part of this trip. Now our author juxtaposes love and honor with the Miller's tale which is practically a joke of what the Knight had just told the group.

The Miller's tale is just another way to see how author thinks about love. In this story love is multiplied by three in comparison to the same objective, the carpenter's young wife. Three men where after the same person which created some funny and tragic incidents in the little town they where living in. A broken arm, a broken heart and a carnal love that never gave fruit of what real love is about, from the point of view of the author.

For me the writer expressed how human kind mocks love and converts it in something dirty and erotic, which at the end juxtaposes with the image of a love full of happiness and true feelings. Although this, both stories have the common thing about their thoughts on love, and they get to the conclusion that love is sad and that love is cause of many pain and grieve.

We all know that, but have you ever been really broken hearted?
