vain
Chaucer portrays the Pardoner as disheveled to suggest he is deceitful and untrustworthy. His unkempt appearance mirrors his corrupt moral character, emphasizing the hypocrisy of his profession as a seller of indulgences.
Chaucer suggests the Pardoner is vain by describing him as being without a hood or hat, exposing his long, flowing hair that he believes makes him look more attractive. This detail highlights the Pardoner's preoccupation with his appearance and vanity.
In the Canterbury Tales, the story the Pardoner suggests that the reason that the Pardoner is so forthcoming with information because he has been drinking.
The moral that Chaucer wants us to draw from the pardoners tale is "greed is the root of all evil," which the pardoner mentions in his introduction to his tale, when he is mocking his manipulation of the crowds he preaches too.
In the Canterbury Tales, the story the Pardoner suggests that the reason that the Pardoner is so forthcoming with information because he has been drinking.
Like so many writers of ancient times, the answers are far from known. Chaucer could have been a gambler, and William Shakespeare could have been a fraud. I would suggest that however you think of him, just as you imagine the charachters in his tales: he should remain in your mind.
It is possible that Shakespeare could have read the works of Geoffrey Chaucer as Chaucer's writings were well-known and influential during the Renaissance period. Shakespeare's own works show elements that may have been influenced by Chaucer's writing style and themes. However, there is no definitive evidence to suggest that Shakespeare specifically read Chaucer's works.
In the Pardoner's Tale, Death appears as an actual person. You could say that this is an example of personification - but since the whole tale is an obvious allegory it seems odd to suggest that Death in this tale is anything more or less allegorical than the other characters.
The Summoner in Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" shares a complex relationship with the other pilgrims. He is often viewed with suspicion and disdain due to his corrupt practices and lecherous behavior, as he exploits his position to extort money from others. Despite this, he engages in camaraderie with the Pardoner, with whom he shares a similar moral ambiguity. Overall, his interactions suggest a blend of camaraderie and conflict, reflecting the diverse social dynamics among the pilgrims.
