Did Chaucer approve or disapprove of the character the Miller based on his/her description.Explain why.

In the prologue of "The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, the author draws almost the full gamut of human weaknesses and frailties based upon our understanding of the seven deadly sins. For some characters, such as The Wife Of Bath, he allows a little tolerance it seems - but not for the poor old miller! In the Miller's Tale, Chaucer deliberately sets out to describe the crook in almost bestial terms, to demean him. One possible reason for this could be that in Chaucerian times , millers were often mistrusted, almost to the point where being a miller became synonymous with being a cheat or swindler. Everyone was dependent on millers for basic bread and grain, so they weren't easily forgiven!!
