    The allusion between Chaucer’s “Pardoner’s Tale” and the article is accurate. The governor is like the pardoner, he doesn't pardon anyone for his entire first term and no one in his second term until the last minute. The pardoner preached against greed, yet he was handing out “confessions” if you paid. Oh, the hypocrisy of the Medieval Catholic Church.…

    In the short story, The Pardoner’s Tale, Chaucer wrote about three men who went on a journey to conquer death. As the men continued on their way they found a tree, and underneath the tree was “A pile of golden florins on the ground, new coined, eight bushels of them as they thought no longer was it death those fellows sought.” (lines 112-115). The men forgot about their mission to conquer death and focused on getting the gold coins, but the three men did not want to share with one another. The three men let greed get the best of them.…

    Geoffery Chaucer wrote twenty-four tales but the most noticeable of these twenty-four tales are "The Pardoners Tale" and "The Wife Of Baths Tale". The Wife of Bath's Tale" is the more likely candidate to win against "The Pardoner's Tale" in the morality side. The reason her tale has morality is the goodness of the poor and broken. Once her story is near its end and the knight, her protagonist, is face to face with the old woman, the antagonist, the wife's message becomes clear. The very first of her ideas is that gentleness, the most prized quality by the upper class, does not come from the class that someone is born into but rather their choices. In "The Pardoner's Tale" the pardoner sells the church's pardons to people who have sinned and seek absolution. He also preaches against sins, mostly avarice. Ironically, in the prologue to his tale, he admits being guilty of that sin and is quite proud of it. His tale is also about greed; in it, death takes three greedy men to their early graves.…

    Although the Pardoner deceives the public, he still confesses his sin "the very vice / [He] makes [his] living out of – avarice" (243). The Pardoner openly admits how much he values wealth over religion by "preaching" against “the very vice” – avarice. Similar to the Wife of Bath, the Pardoner seems “proud” of himself for beguiling innocent people. It is also evident from his tone that he does not believe in religion, but in wealth. Moreover, the Pardoner unambiguously states to the pilgrims, "Let me preach and beg from kirk to kirk / And never do an honest job of work...I mean to have money..." (244). The Pardoner, again, is open about his dishonesty and implies he will “never” be honest in his profession as his only goal is “to have money” despite how sacred his work is. His "work" is to con people of their money by selling pardons and artificial items. Hence, in “The Pardoner’s Tale”, an ethic that was delineated is that corruption, due to cupidity, is present in an infinite number of people, including religious officials, because they act out of arrogance rather than…

    While the Pardoner’s various exempla and poetic tropes direct his audience towards a particular perspective, his rhetoric transcends persuasiveness; not only does the Pardoner force the pilgrims to share his viewpoint, he seeks to materially benefit from his carefully cultivated language. The Pardoner’s intention is therefore not simply to persuade, but to advertise. In his essay “Advertising, Rhetoric, and Literature: A Medieval Response to Contemporary Theory,” Andrew Cowell examines Medieval preaching as a popular form of advertisement, claiming that the clergy’s persuasive discourse used “the illicit seduction of rhetoric” to appeal to “desire rather than truth” (Cowell 813). The Pardoner’s ability to incite desire is integral to his business, as his rhetoric must appeal to a longing for salvation rather than just offer it. Likewise, when customers buy the Pardoner’s relics, they are really buying the healing properties the Pardoner advertises. The Pardoner therefore sells his advertisements in tandem with the relics. For example, the Pardoner constantly repeats “tak of my wordes kepe” or “Tak kepe eek what I telle” (Chaucer 352; 360), acting as if his words were physical goods that the pilgrims can use in their quest for spiritual enlightenment. He jeopardizes his ability to induce desire however when he reveals his deceitful intentions; while he advertises…

    In the Pardoner's Tale, Chaucer writes about a man who preaches to his audience for money. The pardoner speaks of three men that lost their lives due to greed. This leaves the reader with the knowledge that money is the root of all evil. I think the whole world is nothing compare to the pardoner's greed. The pardoner admits that his job is not to encourage people to become better from sin, but to make himself rich. According to the text “but let me briefly make my purpose plain, I preach for nothing by for greed of gain”. Also he even goes so far as to say that he would steal from the poorest page, the widow and even a starving child if it meant that he would gain from the process.…

    The Pardoner’s Tale is a story of three incredibly sinful rioters who make a pact to uncover the face of Death. It is a moral tale that exposes the consequences of unholy acts: primarily greed. Thus the story begins and the three men cross paths with an old man who is unable to die, and upon request, points the men in the direction of Death in which they seek. Though the men believe they have stumbled upon wealth and riches, their sinful greed ironically brings them to find what they initially set out to find:…

    Geoffrey Chaucer was the man who wrote “The Canterbury Tales” and one of his most famous stories is the “Pardoner’s Tale”. “Each historical study of The Canterbury Tales has necessarily nibbled off one on aspect of history, finding in medieval thought a dominant idea, technique, pattern, or style which may be discovered in the poem” (Howard 4). Giving context clues on Chaucer gives small examples of what it was like living during the Medieval Times. Each story was given a message is meant to change the audience’s mind. Greed can ruin a strong relationship between anyone no matter what the circumstances were between them. Hillary Clinton’s speech “Remarks to the U.N. 4th World Conference on Women Plenary Session” was about how women…

    The Canterbury Tales is one of the greatest analogy of stories in English language, for its satirical language that had great impact in British society. One of the tales, the pardoner's tale, which comes after the Physician's Tale and before the Shipman's Tale, is one of the best piece of literature demonstrating the use of satire. The pardoner's tale satirizes the hypocritical pardoners who do the deeds that they themselves condemn, stupidity of drunkenness, and the consequences of being avaricious by using dramatic irony, situational irony and Juvenalian satire.…
