2. What we shall see in the next two chapters is that this limitation in the Host's response cannot be seen simply as a caricaturing of the Host as an intellectually limited churl, or as an endorsement of the undoubtedly vital fabliau ethos.
3. The point is well made by Kolve, that what the Miller says does not, realistically, sound very much like an inebriated medieval churl.

5. We can read this assimilation of characters either as an irony beyond the Miller's ken, confirming the limits of his churl's intellect, or as a droll piece of self-examination and reflection on the character's part: the Miller might, as he says in his prologue, be a cuckold as John is.
