The pardoner’s tale depicts that the seven deadly sins inflict human with harsh punishment. The three drunken men who are looking for the death are punished by it through seven deadly sins that once committed; the possibility to go to the heaven abates. Their each sin brings another sin so they later will be end up in extensive sin which is abolished from salvation. Three guys were guilty of gluttony, indulging in wine and lost their ability to think. When they find gold, they become very envious of each other and greedy for wealth. Gluttony unconsciously leads human to murder. When it meets with envy and avarice it is the worst sins. The sins of gluttony, envy, and avarice lead them to the death that they desire to face to.

These messages are greed is the root of all evil and beware of who you call a friend. The biggest moral in “The Pardoner’s Tale,” is that greed is the root of all sin. Had the men not been stingy, they would have lived past that night. On line 250, Chaucer writes, “‘I’ll up and put my dagger through his back while you and he are struggling, as in game; Then draw your dagger too and do the same. Then all

The Usage of Literary Devices in The Pardoner’s Tale Greed is the root of all evil and everyone should stay away from it as told in The Pardoner's Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer. In this tale, the Pardoner preaches a tale of three drunks; these drunks decide to fight Death. This leads them to an old man, who tells them to leave him alone. The drunks find gold coins under a tree and decide to take the gold; but due to greed, they all perish due to killing each other. The Pardoner then goes on to show how greed is the root of all evil and should be avoided at all costs.

In the story, “The Pardoner’s Tales”, Geoffrey Chaucer wrote the character the Pardoner in descriptive way. He describe the Pardoner’s corruption teaching and the way the Pardoner act in the tale. The religious that the Pardoner teaching is corrupted and very selfish, greediness, and gluttony. This thing are all opposite to what the real church religious is teaching. In the story, he tricks the people to buy his fake relics and other things by using the church’s believe. The Pardoner act and his teaching are all corrupted because of the church. It shows the side of greediness, gluttony and selfishness which highly reflect into himself and his believe.

While some may view the pardoner in The Pardoner's Tale as hypocritical, he is actually very honest. The Pardoner does not sugar coat anything; he always tells it how it is. He tells everyone from the start that he gets his wealth from greed. If the Pardoner was hypocritical he would have never told the travelers that he is greedy. He would have tried to make it seem as though he were righteous and has never fallen into avarice.

Throughout the story, The pardoner's Tale, Chaucer writes of topics often still written about today. He mentions greed, violence, and death. The characters he creates are especially memorable and can be compared to characters in modern literature which makes it easier to understand. Chaucer writes about a group of quarreling rioters who’s lack of intelligence helps add some comedy to the story. He also adds in a wise, yet “very poor old man”(174) who indirectly hints at what would help them find “a privy thief… called Death”(173) that they seek. Chaucer's memorable rhetoric is capped off when the men find greed, in the form of a large sum of gold, which causes them to conspire and kill each other. In the end they found the Death they were looking for. This clever storytelling makes the plot particularly clear and straightforward compared to The Wife of Bath’s drawn out vagueness. Chaucer's easily relatable characters and cleaver but understandable plot make The Pardoner's Tale much more

The Pardoner’s Tale is a story very relatable to many Americans in this day and age. This story tells of greed, pride, and malice. A theme as old as time, “money is the root of all evil” speaks volumes in this poem. The Pardoner’s Tale highlights an old saying that many use in everyday conversation.

I have seen over the years that the Hispanic population in California alone has grown enormously in California let alone the United States. The federal government came up with the term Hispanic to “provide a common ground to a quite large but diverse population of people that have come to the United States from a Spanish speaking country” (Clutter & Nieto, n.d.). I have seen that Hispanic families are a very tight family and that is very important to them as a social unit. Hispanic the term “family” consist of lots of family members like: children, parents, and even extended family like cousin, grandparents, etc.

The world is full of hypocrites and in the story “The Pardoner’s Tale”, Chaucer writes about a man who is living a life of sin. The Pardoner’s tale is an epologia of a pardoner who has the power from the church to forgive others for their sins but makes a living out of lying and tricking his audience. Throughout the Pardoner’s Tale he preaches about greed, drinking, blasphemy, and gambling but in the Pardoner’s Prologue he admits to committing these sins himself. The pardoner is really just a 14th century con artist who makes a living by his own hypocrisy.

Immigration is an increasingly hot controversy in southern California; there have even been various rallies recently with many supporting a path to citizenship and others arguing that we need to close our boarders and prosecute violators. Immigration is the spotlight not due to money, but because it affects problems like race, the role of government, national identity and change. There are more advantages than disadvantages on supporting illegal immigration and supporting an amnesty.

Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Pardoner's Tale," a relatively straightforward satirical and anti-capitalist view of the church, contrasts motifs of sin with the salvational properties of religion to draw out the complex self-loathing of the emasculated Pardoner. In particular, Chaucer concentrates on the Pardoner's references to the evils of alcohol, gambling, blasphemy, and money, which aim not only to condemn his listeners and unbuckle their purses, but to elicit their wrath and expose his eunuchism.

Throughout centuries human beings have evolved, but various traits of human nature remain the same. An epic poem named “The Canterbury Tales” written by Geoffrey Chaucer provides examples that demonstrate traits of human nature that are still relevant in our world today even if this piece of literature was written hundreds of years ago.The Canterbury Tales is framed by having multiple people from different social lives and statuses share stories which demonstrates how these pilgrims think and act, in other words their human nature, on their way to the martyr St. Thomas in a pilgrimage. These characters portray different traits of human nature such as having religious aspirations, falling in love, and thinking in an evil way in their stories which are all still lively relevant in today's society.

The Root of Evil Exposed in The Pardoner's Tale   "The root of all evil is money."   Because this phrase has been repeated so many times throughout history, one can fail to realize the truth in this timeless statement.   Whether applied to the corrupt clergy of Geoffrey Chaucer's time, selling indulgences, or the corrupt televangelists of today, auctioning off salvation to those who can afford it, this truth never seems to lose its validity.   In Chaucer's famous work The Canterbury Tales, he points out many inherent flaws of human nature, all of which still apply today.

There is an issue of whether the tale being told by the Pardoner, can actually be the "moral" (325) tale he claims it to be. The tale shows demonstrate that money is the root of all evil however does the moral still count when he is preaching "agayn that same vice / Which that I use, and that is avarice" (against the very vice I commit: avarice"). This again connects back with the selling of indulgent and the idea that even though the people who were selling them were also people who sinned and scammed people yet they were able to ease the minds of those who believed and sought out redemption. The tale the Pardoner tells is about how three drunkards search for death and understanding the view point in Chaucer’s time period on death helps us as readers to gain a better understanding of how this tale could be seen as light or even funny to some of the pilgrims and could also be used as a tale to persuade people to buy redemption. Another problem is that the Pardoner is a successful preacher, and the profits he makes point to the fact that several people do learn from his speeches and repent. His Tale is an accurate demonstration of the way greed and avarice leads to
