The Miller Story
I thought it was an okay story. It just seems to me too much like a soap opra, with all if the drama. The relationship was okay at first. then they started cheating. And we all know thats all that happins in soap opras these days. So it wasnt all that bad too me, and I'm assuming she was pretty hot if she had some dude build stuff her and get busy with the other guy.

Relating this to real mid evil times is easy. It was said that women were highly idealized in mid evil culture. The main girl in this story was Alison. As the main girl she was also the main person in the story. All of the drama came back to her. "The women where highly idealized in Medieval culture". If you ask me, it's seems pretty relavent as to today being with all of the drama.
