The comparison's tale

Chaucer uses irony in almost all of the tales, this was apparent as each group presented. The tales presented were the Miller, and the Monk. The Miller is ironic because he does crazy things and is a tricky man. The Monk seemed ironic in the prologue because he hunts and is adventurous unlike the way we portray monks today. My group read the Cook, and he was ironic because he is gross, and makes gross tasting food that no one wants to eat which is the opposite of a normal cook. I think that Chaucer also likes to have humorous situations, and events happen in each tale. In the presentations I learned that the Miller made a man kiss his butt and then got branded, and the Monk is made fun of and then states that everyone will get whats coming to them.  I think that Chaucer's characters all have similar styles since he is the author and that is the way he wants to portray the characters in each tale.
