A Comparison's Tale

Chaucer keeps the same tone and theme throughout most of his tales. In "Skipper's Tale" and "The Miller's Tale" both are focused on adultery and unfaithfulness. In both stories the wife cheats on the husband with another man. The other thing I noticed in both tales was the fact that no one ever got convicted for their actions. Both of these tales are good examples that showed that Chaucer satirical towards marriage and liked to take a humorous approach on his writing.
