The Miller's Tale

The miller "was a stout carl for the nones/ ful big he was of brawn, and eek and bones" (lines 549 and 550). He was a very stout and strong man; he ripped the doors off their hinges; he was also loud, obnoxious, and had a bad mouth: He was a janglere and a goliardeys/ and that was most of sinne and deeds of harlotry (lines 562 and 563). I took this line not only did he curse and have a bad mouth and manners, but he was also drunk. The Miller portrayed to the lower class as the knight related to the upper class and nobility. This tale was very humorous, ditry, and rude. However, I did not understand why even in the lower class a young woman would cheat? Was that common? Even this character relates to the strong, body builder type. He was like a class clown who would lighten the mood in order to tell a joke; however, he also took advantage of people and their money; he did anything he could to better himself in a negative fashion; he would cheat people in order to become richer. I wonder though what does the bag pipe have to do with the tale and character that Chaucer is trying to portray? There are a lot of funny videos and good acts of this tale on you tube. Here is an example of this tale with legos haha. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nDCrmO-Weg
