What would not be a good description of Chaucer's The Miller's Tale?

A literal interpretation of the events in the story as a realistic depiction of medieval social norms and values would not be a good description of Chaucer's The Miller's Tale. The story is a fabliau, a satirical and humorous genre, meant to entertain and provoke laughter through its exaggerated characters and bawdy humor, rather than serve as a faithful representation of medieval life.

The contrast between the content of the story and the sophistication of the language used to describe it added an extra layer of humor to the tale.
