The Knight’s Tale‚ the story of two knights that fight for the love of a woman they do not know‚ and The Miller’s Tales‚ the story of three men trying to win the heart of one woman‚ are two tales that share similar story lines and themes that include courtly love and chivalry. The themes in the two tales at times seem to be very satirical throughout the stories‚ especially The Miller’s Tale; however‚ the presentations of the satirical themes in each story have a different approach from one another
