- Description
- In MilT, Nicholas's real and reputed knowledge of astrology convinces John of the upcoming Flood, evidence that the clerk has spent his time well in learning the science of reckoning time. Indeed, in contrast to the carpenter, the educated clerk has the power "to direct the actions of the other characters in the tale and establish the timeline for the narrative."
