Answer:

"The Monk's Tale" is a story from "The Canterbury Tales" by Geoffrey Chaucer. The stories that the Monk tells are full of strong moral and tragedy, as he uses the theme of fortune in all of them, more specifically the fortune of man and how they can not depend on it, as it is shown in the line "Thus Fortune with a light / Turn of her wheel brings men from joy to sorrow."
