Answer 1

It would be the miller.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Miller

Explanation:

Chaucer creates a dialectic between the lowest class and one of the highest by telling two tales of opposite nature. The Knight's tale is a romance, a sophisticated convention that depicts the chivalric love and a high sense of honor. The Miller's tale opposed to the Knight's is a fabliau, a comic story that reflects the life of ordinary people. The miller indeed belongs to this common type of people in the Feudal society of Geoffrey Chaucer's time.
