In Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Pardoner’s Tale,” the Pardoner himself tells a morally instructive story about greed and its consequences. The Pardoner, a corrupt church official who sells indulgences and relics for profit, presents a tale of three riotous young men who set out to kill Death, only to meet their own demise due to their greed and treachery. Through the ironic narration of the Pardoner, Chaucer exposes the hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy of those who exploit religion for personal gain. “The Pardoner’s Tale” serves as a scathing critique of the medieval church and a cautionary tale about the dangers of avarice.
