| | Reeve's Prologue and Tale |
 | | The Reeve's Tale descends through the Miller's Tale from that of the Knight, and on the critical point - the reduction of women to pawns of men - it is a true likeness of the original. | | | Rodney Delasanta, "The Mill in Chaucer's Reeve's Tale. | | | "The failure of the intellect in Chaucer's Reeve's Tale." ELN 28 (1990): 17-19. |

| | Frederic Colier, "What Amounteth Al This Wit?" [On Chaucer's Reeve's Tale] |
| | Unfortunately, the grain of the Reeve's tale incarnates cupiditas. | | | Thus the Reeve's tale must be interpreted as a rehearsal for an up-coming confession rewarding the penitent with absolution. | | | Justman rightly observes that " the teller of the tale (the Reeve) oppressed with thought of his impotence (...) recaptures his sexual power, " (Justman, 25). |

| | The reality is that the behavior of the Reeve and the characters in his tale are not random or unaccountable. | | | The Reeves Tale is starkly contrasted to this. | | | They are characterized by their description in the General Prologue, but not fully developed until they are seen in contrast to the pilgrim they are quiting. As the Millers personality is developed by his dissimilarity to the Knight, so is the Reeve by the Miller. |

| | GradeSaver: ClassicNote: The Canterbury Tales - Full Summary and Analysis |
| | The prologue to the Reeve's Tale continues the pattern established with the prologue to the Miller's Tale. | | | The Reeve's Tale is a vulgar comic tale intended to humiliate the Miller. | | | The tale is an adventure with elements of fantasy similar to the Knight's Tale not surprising, for the Squire is the son of the Knight but with a less bombastic tone and elements of magic instead of the divine intervention that drives the later sections of the Knight's Tale. |

| | The Friar's Prologue and Tale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Unlike the Miller and the Reeve who tell tales which irritate the other and do not get on for that reason, the Friar and the Summoner seem to have a longstanding hatred between them. | | | The tale itself continues in the denigration of summoners with its vivid description of the work of a summoner. | | | The tale is a satirical and somewhat bitter attack on the profession of summoner—an official in ecclesiastical courts who summons people to attend—and in particular The Summoner one of the other people on the pilgrimage. |

| | We can say that The Reeve's Tale and The Cook's Tale are also versions of The Knight's Tale, and, in the Reeve's case, of the Miller's, too. | | | In light of the theory of mediation, however, it is possible to go further and say: the Miller tells his version of The Knight's Tale, the Miller takes his position on The Knight's Tale, the Miller betrays who he is by his carefully instrumented opposition to The Knight's Tale. | | | In the next three chapters I attempt to analyze the tales of the Wife of Bath, the Merchant, and the Pardoner from the perspective of Chaucer's theory of mediation. |

| | But in the Reeve's Tale, the fruitfulness of both milling and marrying is exploited by Symkyn's expansive greed. | | | What most interested Chaucer in The Cook's Tale, as I read it, was the self-conscious appropriation of moral values by a rising, trade-oriented middle class, and their compromised expression by Roger of Ware, cook of London, whose divided allegiance seems likely to constitute a subtext to the tale he tells (279). | | | And in the Cook's Tale, the "plenty" inherent in the act of exchange is also subverted, not by greedy milling or the vengeful love-making that mirrors it, but by the moral inversion that is implied by a commercialized, and thus infinitely replicated act of love. |

| | Chaucer included several fabliaux in The Canterbury Tales, including the stories of the Shipman, the Friar, the Miller, the Reeve, and the Cook. | | | Probably the most famous franklin in literary history is Chaucer's Franklin, whose lavish displays of generosity in the General Prologue are only matched by his blatant attempts to flatter the Knight (through complimenting the Knight's son, the Squire) and his attempt to redefine the qualities of nobility later in the Canterbury Tales. | | | Fairy tales include shape-shifting spirits with mischievous temperaments, superhuman wisdom or knowledge, and far-reaching power to interfere with the normal affairs of humanity. |

| | All tales, prologues, and "links" must be read, with the exception of the Parson's Tale and the Melibee (the pilgrim Chaucer's second tale), which are optional. | | | I think there is no need here to explain all the points that go into the discussion of the tales: the aubade in the Reeve's Tale, the anti-intellectualism of the of the Carpenter and the Miller, the use of occupatio, and so on. | | | Chaucer's manner of fitting teller to tale is a very complex phenomenon that includes not only the fact that the Prioress must tell a religious tale (and that the Miller must not) but also the style and manner in which she tells it. |

| | The conjugal reminiscences of the Wife of Bath and the Reeve's Tale with its abominable climax (lightened a little by Aleyn's farewell, lines 316-319) are among the great things in Chaucer, as surely as Troilus, and Palamon and Arcyte and the Prologue. | | | In 1737 (reprinted in 1740) the Prologue and Knights Tale were edited (anonymously) by Thomas Moreli from the most authentic manuscripts, and here, though by dint of much violence and with many mistakes, Chaucers lines were for the first time in print given in a form in which they could be scanned. | | | The wearisome tale of " Melibee and his wyf Prudence," which was perhaps as much admired in English as it had been in Latin and French, may have been translated at any time. |
