THE COMPARISON'S TALE

When a group went over the Miller's tale, Chaucer's style was obvious. The story poked fun of the upper class in a subtle way. The story was ironic because the rich carpenter was outsmarted by a poor student. The story of the Cook also exhibited irony. Through his story telling, you can imply that the cook seems to be passionate about his job yet he sucks at it. His themes seem to encompass a variety of issues that are still relevant to today's society, such as being too vain is bad for you.
