The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer is a group of stories where pilgrims tell tales during their journey to a holy shrine in Canterbury. There are 29 pilgrims but the first two pilgrims to tell tales are the knight and the miller. The miller practically mirrors the knight’s story. The miller’s tale uses elements similar to the knight’s tale but it corrupts those same elements by mimicking them. The miller’s tale and the knight’s tales are very different although they have some similarities.

In her essay‚ “The Deconstruction of the Male-Rescuer Archetype‚” Carolina Fernandez emphasizes how the figure of a “male-hero” has evolved and changed overtime. Fernandez supports her main argument using Spanish fairy tales to oppose the strong-traditional vision of Machoism and demonstrate how women do not need a figure of a hero or rescuer‚ since they can free themselves and become independent.

Adam I and Adam II are each archetypes that teach a lesson to the readers of Genesis‚ which‚ according to Soloveitchik‚ is why they are both included in the Bible. Carrying Soloveitchik’s approach to reading Genesis to the rest of the book and applying his Archetype theory to other characters in the scripture yields a very interesting take on the stories of the Bible.
