How Does Chaucer Present The Miller To Become Such A Vivid And VibrantCharacter?The Canterbury Tales is a selection of stories written in MiddleEnglish. On a spring day in April sometime in the 14th century 29pilgrims (including Chaucer as a reputation 30) set out for Canterburyon a pilgrimage.Among them is a knight, a monk, a prioress, two nuns, the friar, thesquire, the yeoman, the merchant, a work, a sergeant of the law, awealthy landowner, a doctor, the wife of Bath, a supplier, the reeve,a somonour, a pardoner, Harry Bailey (the host), Chaucer himself, ahaberdasher, a carpenter, a weaver, a tapestry maker, a dyere, a cook,a shipman, a poor parson, a plowman, and a miller. To entertainthemselves they decide to tell a tale each on the elbow room and another onthe way back.
