This thesis analyzes the prologue to Chaucer’s Clerk’s Tale, drawing connections between the Clerk and the Miller, both as characters and tale-tellers, and explores the implications of interpreting the two works as mutually informative. Focusing on covenants in the Clerk’s Tale and frame tale show the Clerk to be a subversive, biased, and sometimes petty character, who deploys clever rhetorical strategies that mislead the reader. The thesis concludes by mapping the primary concerns of the Clerk’s Tale to broader themes of textuality, readership, and responsibility in the Canterbury Tales as a whole.
