I think that the miller's tale is poking fun at the Knight's tale. The Miller's tale is all about sex while the Knight's tale is about love. I don't think any of the views are realistic. The Knight's tale has two men falling in love with a woman from a prison window. The wife of Bath tale is probably the most unrealistic one. A old woman transforing into a young beautiful for her husband is very unrealistic. The Miller's tale is also unrealistic. For a man to be so easily convinced that a second flood is coming seems unlikely.
