More about the book
Focusing on themes of hypocrisy and greed, the narrative features a corrupt church official known as the Pardoner, who sells indulgences while embodying the vices he condemns. His tale recounts the tragic fate of three young men who, in their pursuit of wealth and the end of Death, succumb to their own greed, ultimately leading to mutual destruction. This work serves as a sharp critique of ecclesiastical corruption and the moral pitfalls of avarice, reflecting Chaucer's keen social commentary within the framework of the Canterbury Tales.
