Choose three of the four pilgrims whose tales you have read. For your essay, look at the General Prologue descriiption of each of your chosen pilgrims, and discuss how each tale “suits” its teller, using the general prologue descriiption of each teller as as your point of reference.

You need to complete both of these essays. and each must be a minimum of 500 words.
a) Choose three of the four pilgrims whose tales you have read. For your essay, look at the General Prologue descriiption of each of your chosen pilgrims, and discuss how each tale “suits” its teller, using the general prologue descriiption of each teller as as your point of reference. Remember that the General Prologue is at the beginning of the Canterbury Tales. You read it first, and it contains Chaucer’s descriiptions of most of the pilgrims. Don’t confuse the General Prologue with the prologues to each tale.

b) The Miller and the Reeve have been called the “Jekyll and Hyde of the fabliaux”. By this it is meant that the Miller and his tale are more genial, affable and attuned to beauty, and the Reeve (and his tale) are meanspirited and ugly. Support this position with evidence from their prologues (NOT the General Prologue!) and their tales.
