The Knight's Tale is an odd love. It is essentially love at first sight for the men. But it's silly. They know nothing of this woman. She may be a complete shrew for all they know. Marriage is not for complete love. Just what the man wants. Emily does not want to get married, but except in prayer does not refuse to. This shows men as domineering and completely in charge. It also means there will never be real love in the marriage. Which leads me to another thing. Emily's love for the dieing knight! Just because he died for her she was expected to love him. That's b.s it's not her fault The love is too outrageous to be real love. The Miller's Tale is another silly type of love but defiantly more realistic. Again the woman has no real say in who she will marry. But at least this time she revolts. Although love again in this story is based off of a woman's beauty and nothing else. Because she really is a b-word in this story. The Miller's outlook is also too outrageous to be realistic. Nobody falls in love and decides to sleep with someone after they outrageously get their who-ha grabbed. The Wife of Bath's love story is also a love based on beauty. Beauty fades personalities do not.
