Summary of the Miller’s Tale Once the Knight finished telling his noble tale, the Host asked that the Monk tell a story to match the Knight’s. But, before he could say another word, the Miller, who was too drunk to walk, said that he had a story that would match the Knight’s. The Host asked if another pilgrim would go so that the Miller could settle down a bit, but he insisted he tell a story. He announced that he was drunk and if anything offended anyone, they should blame it on the alcohol. He introduces his tale as a legend of a carpenter and his wife and how a clerk made a fool of the carpenter. The Reeve told him to stop immediately, but the Miller insisted. And so he began. At Oxford, there was an old carpenter and with him lived a clerk by the name of Nicholas. Nicholas studied astronomy and knew how to read the stars to make all sorts of predictions. He was also very knowledgeable of secret love and pleasure and was very sly and discreet about it.
