The Comparison's Tale

The characters we've gone over in The Canterbury Tales all have similar tones and themes of storytelling. The cook and the monk are both similar. Both the chef and the monk both tell stories that have moral meaning or life lesson to them, that is targeted at the characters, and also possibly the readers as well. In The Cook's Tale, while no theme is actually mentioned, a theme that could be taken from it is to always be focused to your work, even though there could be another theme along with the story if it were continued. In The Monk's Tale, he tells a few different stories of tragedy, and the theme in all of them is how success or glory is fickle, and anything can happen to it.
