This tale seemed very appropriate for the Miller to tell after the description we received of the Miller in the Prologue. The tale contained jokes, pranks, and humor. From the Millers description the reader was able to tell the he was a jokester himself and seemed to always be up for making a laugh out of a situation.

Intro:
The Romantic period was a time of increased nationalism and a heightened sense of nature and supernatural phenomena, traits that are reflected within art of the time period. Another stressed idea was heroism, depicting heroic characters in triumphant scenes. Artists of the Romantic period began to be regarded as an individual expressing emotion and relaying an idea, as opposed to merely painting a portrait for royalty to hang on the wall. Therefore, art was introduced into society as more than a recording of culture but also an open door into the thoughts and minds of the time.

Hey, I'm not finishedThe Romantic Period was like a fresh page in a sketch book to the world of music. During this time the Industrial Revolution was sweeping the nation and people were retaliating with this. I have stuff at homeemotions and I'm just puttingfeelings. Because of this incredible outburst of human emotion the arts became controlled by such feelings during this era. Composers became less focused on rules and common forms and more curious about self expression and experimenting with different sounds, instruments, and musical patterns. Composers were also provided with wonderful opportunities to showcase their talent and knowledge about music by writing nearly impossible passages and then performing them with perfection infront of audiences. This action of "showing off" is called virtuoso. The piano was probably the most popular instrument during the Romantic Era, but this era was also a time of some great instrumental inventions including the tuba and the saxaphone, both widely used instruments today. Some of the most famous composers and musicians during the Romantic Period include but are not limited to, Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, and Tchaikovsky. The opera and the growth of orchestras were also two trademarks of the Romantic Period. Apart from being extremely productive in here so I can fix it later!the arts, the Romantic Period gave people a chance to express themselves freely yet beautifully!
