Paper Summary:
This paper examines the theme of sex and religion in 'The Knight's Tale' and 'The Miller's Tale' from "The Canterbury Tales" and shows why they would have been the most amusing of all the stories for readers during Geoffrey Chaucer's time.From the Paper:
"The sexual references of the Miller's Tale are very obvious. When Nicholas makes his first pass at Alison he grabs her "queynte" (line 89-90), this has a double meaning, and it could mean strange or her genitals. We assume in context he is referring to her genitals. Also Nicholas must have her or he will "spille" (die or ejaculate)."More papers on Sex and Religion in "The Canterbury Tales":
