THE MILLER

The Miller

He was a thieving trader.

“A thumb of gold , by God, to gauge an oat!” Pg. 137 Line 581

This means that the miller would press his thumb on the scale to give a false weight and price of the item he was trading.

Miller’s Appearance

Broad, knotty, and small. Miller wore a hood of blue and a white coat. Along

with a red beard and a wart on his nose.

“His beard, like any sew or fox, was red and broad as well, as though is were a spade. And, at its very tip, his nose displayed a wart on which there stood a tuft of hair red as the bristles in an old sow’s ear.” - Page 137 lines 568- 572

Miller’s feelings

Very confident. - con-man

Only cares about himself, plus is full of greed.

“ Broad, knotty, and short-shouldered, he would boast, he could heave and door off hinge and post, or take a run and break it with his head.” Lines 565-567

“ In other words, he pressed on the scale with his thumb to increase the weight of the grain. He was a thief of grain.” Line 581
