Millers Tale

“Help! Water! Water! Help! For Heaven’s love!’ The carpenter, startled from sleep above,And hearing shouts for water and a thud,Thought, ‘Heaven help us! Here comes Nowel’s Flood!” (Chaucer 75)Diction: John the carpenter’s mispronunciation of “Nowel” instead of “Noah” reveals his lack of education and knowledge in theological studies. This error emphasizes the juxtaposition of the carpenter to other characters in the Miller’s Tale. The carpenter is far more ignorant than the other characters, as Alison and Nicolas easily trick him into thinking a celestial disaster is occurring. The carpenter’s gullibility further reveals Chaucer’s implication that laborers like him are uneducated and feeble minded.
