The Reeve’s Tale
As the Miller’s Tale was told, the crowd’s reactions were mixed. ... In the prologue to the Reeve’s Tale, he vows to repay the Miller’s Tale. Just as the Miller told his tale as a reaction to the Knight’s Tale, the Reeve vows to tell a tale as a reaction to what the Miller has told. He is offended by the Miller’s satiric description of the aged carpenter in comparison to the younger characters of the tale. He believes that the Miller’s Tale was an attack on him, and will so tell a tale that is an attack on the Miller. ...
The Reeve’s Tale is a vulgar comic tale intended to humiliate the Miller. ... Symkyn, the central character of the tale, is meant to represent the Miller, and consequently has no redeemable characteristics. ... The Reeve’s tale therefore lacks any degree of compassion toward any of its characters. ... The two students lack the measure of lust that is present in The Miller’s Tale, and which might make the characters more sympathetic.
