While researching and presenting the Miller's tale we were able to discover that Chaucer did not take the upper class seriously. Chaucer made the upper class seem like a joke. Overall his writing style is very comical, entertaining, and not very serious. Chaucer criticized and mocked the characters of the upper class more than the under class men. Chaucer displayed the higher class,the carpenter, to be seen as a joke, whereas the Miller was confident and cool.
The Cook's tale had a similar style to that of the Miller's tale. The Cook's tale was also very comical and mocking in comparison to the Miller. The cook loved his job, but he was too lazy to accomplish anything and would rather be doing something else. Which is very ironic because he claimed to love his profession, but never took it seriously. Chaucer was able to portray that even those who have it all, have their own faults and downfalls through a comical point of view.
