Read the Miller's Tale carefully. Then download, print out, and study carefully the seminal article by Paul Olson, "Poetic Justice in the Miller's Tale", from Modern Language Quarterly, 1963.
Write 300 words on the use of allegory in this Tale, as Olson sees it. You may quote as much as you like, but do not count any quotations, either from the Miller's Tale or from Olson's article, as part of your 300 words.
Email to your group and to me. Bring both texts -- the Miller's Tale and Olson's article -- to class with you.
