Hi! I'm writing a paper and have been having a tough time with coming up with an answer. I've read the text a number of times but am still befuddled. I need to write a three page paper on the questions posed below. Can you please lead me to a source that can help me...or does anyone out there have any ideas? :banana:

Questions:

Chaucer’s Miller’s Tale is, in part, a sly attack on the aristocratic class about whom
the concepts of courtly love were associated. What conventions does Chaucer parody
and how does he go about it? What do you think the Miller is trying to say?
