The tale I liked the most was the Millers tale. The pilgrims also aboard with the drunkard scorned him. In my opinion his tale was one of the most realistic ones out of the whole book.

I understand that back then it was customary to take a bride, but as a modern day girl I'm very independent. I don't see the need to absolutely having to marry.
