The OP quote is from the Miller’s Tale. It was dark outside and the kid was at the woman’s door asking her for a kiss but she hated him and thought him repulsive so she stuck her rear end outside and the kid kissed her rear end (the beard is her pubes) and she farted in his face.

Each one of these stories is so perfect because it directly relates to the person telling it and says something about their character and who they are as a person. The wife of Bath whose been married many times and is sexually free tells a Prince Charming story about an ugly duckling woman who rewards a man for seeing more than just her looks, the newlywed henpecked Merchant tells a story about how all women are wicked and unfaithful, the drunken cook tells a sex story that literally has no point to it except to be gross and offensive, the uptight Prioress tells an antisemitism tale how all Jews are murderers and the rest of them just sit there awkwardly when it ends, the Reeve, merchant, summoner, friar all tell tales basically making fun of one another as cuckolds and deviants. It’s the perfect format that makes it all work.

>>25061410
Well the stories themselves have Christian ethics. The Miller's Tale is told by a miller who is insulting a Reeve (carpenter) who had offended him in a previous part of the book so his story relates to a carpenter being cuckolded by his young wife.

The narrator repeatedly asks apologies for relating all the details of the story - Ladyes, I prey yow that ye be nat wrooth;
I kan nat glose, I am a rude man -
1140 And sodeynly anon this Damyan
Gan pullen up the smok, and in he throng."

>>25061425
>I kan nat glose, I am a rude man -
>1140 And sodeynly anon this Damyan
>Gan pullen up the smok, and in he throng.
wtf kinda of zoomer ass gen z shit is this? write normal dude

>>25061428
>Ladies I pray that you have no wrath for I can not hide it -I am a rude man. And suddenly this man Damien, he pulled up her smock and in he leapt.

>>25061425
>the narrator apologizes
This is clearly a joke since the ladies are the ones who would be dying to hear such details

>>25061321
>gives him her rear instead of her mouth.

that's an upgrade.

(So priketh hem nature in hir corages):

>>25061434
Well yeah its a joke in an ironic sense but the overall point is that the work has Christian ethics and the dirty parts are intended as insulting to men in Christian language are "of the world but not in the world."

>>25061437
Her boyfriend also attempts to fart in the kid's face but he comes back with a burning metal rod and shoves it up his ass and the boyfriend runs out screaming for Water which awakens the cuckolded husband who has a heart attack believing it is Noah's flood (the wife had earlier said the boyfriend has prophetic abilities and that a second flood was coming so he should hide in a barrel for several hours which she then uses to sleep with her boyfriend).

>>25061381
PPP was truly based for this one.

>>25061712
Fun fact: Pasolini actually filmed all the actual pilgrim scenes where they set up their stories and the Sir Topas tale too but he had to drop all of it from the movie because it was well over three hours and it couldn’t be distributed to X rated theaters at that length.

Pic related isn’t the Pasolini film btw. It’s one of the several knock offs theu made because of the real one’s success.

>>25061386
no they can't, retardo

>>25061410
the entire story is an excuse for one of the characters in the framing story to call another character in the framing story a cuck

>>25061310
it's too bad he never finished the cook's tale

>>25061425
Sometimes I feel like this literature thing isn't for me. I read the stories and all I got was the vaguest sense of what's happening

>>25061437
No you don't get it this is before women were taught to shave and also everyone in Europe only bathed once a month, the smell would have been awful.

>>25062187
It’s likely not unfinished but rather intentionally left off because the drunken cook fell asleep before he could finish it thus further adding to his character development

>>25061310
Do you think he got any of her "night soil" in his mouth?

>>25061321
>>25061410
I wouldn't say it was "heckin' wholesome" or pristine, but I think there's this idea that vulgarity and crassness are recent concepts.
I'm sure it comes from the fact that anglo-saxon media and culture from the victorian ages to the 20th century, tend to be more refined and sensible compared to the media we have nowadays. I dunno, I blame americans since they are homoglobo puritans and they spread that with Hollywood.

globohomo is a yuropean thing that was pushed by yurop. germans invented trannies

People in Europe were much less sensitive to stench due to constant exposure to it. It was sort of the olfactory equivalent to the desaturation that is now mandatory for any film taking place in the middle ages or in any Muslim country

>>25062973
retardo. maybe they did but trannies didn't come into fashion until 80 fucking years later, when America decided to do it.

>>25063525
Transgenderism existed decades before Money, even the term gender as he used it preceded him

>>25063568
you are a fucking faggot. My parents are anti homo. they would hate a gay like you
>>25063571
nta but most yuros are very swarthy and of far darker complexion than any American. Most yuros are comparable in skin hue to indians

>>25063754
nope. trannies came into fashion in yurop. 100% of all gay shit comes from yurop. the faggot flag is the EU flag, you gay retard

I will now read your book.

>>25064611
Anyways, retard, nobody "invented" trannyism, it's appeared all over the place fo rmillenia and could be called 'Ishtar worship" and the massive tranny campaign of the recent era came out of America, as basically all things do, and then Europe jumps on the bandwagon, as they always do. For example George Floyd worship. Unless you want to argue the Euros actually started that.

>>25064731
trannies came from yurop, modern globohomo shit came from yurop and the love of black dick came from yurop.
france and belgium were all in on the black worship after WWI and hitler bitches about black men fucking white women in his book.
all gay shit comes from yurop

Yes, it's a really good translation into modern English that keeps the same meter and rhyme scheme. I find that other translations are dry and don't understand that they're translating poetry. It's certainly possible to learn to read the original Middle English, but it's a fair bit of extra effort.

>france and belgium were all in on the black worship after WWI

A few cities had jazz cultures which had been exported from the US.

>and hitler bitches about black men fucking white women in his book.

He identifies it as an atrocity that some black Allied occupation troops in the Rhineland were given the lenience to rape. It‘s funny how precisely you have to know this to bring it up which excludes any possibility that you are ignorant rather than intentionally misrepresenting the case.

>>25066231
The story relates to her person because it’s extremely tone deaf and tonally distant from the largely jovial and silly tales which had previously been told and marks her as someone not averse to fun or silliness who is very judgmental towards others, in this case to the Jews. What Chaucer was doing with this character or any development she may have gotten over the course of the work we will never know because each person was to tell 4 tales and likely there would have been marked progression and development of some kind.

>>25066132
it's a metaphor for the professor-undergraduate dynamic.
