Which pilgrim is described as having a "thumb of gold," implying that they are skilled at judging the quality of grain?
- A The Miller
- B The Reeve
- C The Plowman
- D The Manciple
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The Miller is portrayed as a physically imposing and somewhat dishonest character. His "thumb of gold" is a metaphorical reference to his ability to assess the quality of grain, but it also hints at his tendency to cheat customers by overcharging them. This detail contributes to his characterization as a shrewd and opportunistic figure.
