The Comparison's Tale

After hearing about Chaucer's other tales I have found that he keeps the same general tone and themes throughout each. In my group's tale (The Skipper's Tale) and The Miller's Tale the themes of adultery and unfaithfulness are the main backbones of the story. In both cases the wife cheats on her husband with his close friend and gets away with it, without tarnishing her reputation. This brings up Chaucer's satirical tone. Through humorous and scandalous situations he brings out the realistic theme of reputation versus actual character.
