The Miller's Tale is one of many tales that make up Chaucer's famous work The Canterbury Tales. The Miller's Tale is about a miller who disparages a carpenter and his wife.
His Dignity
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.
I found it most amusing in "The Miller's Tale" when the bawdy and crude nature of the events, such as the deception and infidelity among the characters, clashed with Chaucer's elegant and refined writing style. 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.

And when men trust in her she then will fail / And cover her bright face as with a cloud.

In Chaucer's description, the Pardoner's voice is compared to that of a goat. It is described as thin and high-pitched, like the bleating of a goat. This comparison reflects the Pardoner's deceitful and manipulative nature.
In "The Miller's Tale" in The Canterbury Tales, John is a carpenter who is married to Alisoun. He is portrayed as a naive and gullible character who is easily fooled by his younger wife and the other characters in the tale. John becomes the victim of various tricks and schemes throughout the story.
The Miller's Tale is an exciting fabliau.
