The Seven Deadly Sins and Chaucer’s “The Pardoner’s Prologue” and “The Pardoner’s Tale”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the Seven Deadly Sins and Chaucer’s “The Pardoner’s Prologue” and “The Pardoner’s Tale”. The Seven Deadly Sins of pride (vanity), envy, gluttony, lust (lechery), anger (wrath), greed (avarice) and sloth were used quite extensively in the early writings of Christendom to be used as warnings to some or as guides against sin for others. In “Ancrene Wisse: Guide for the Anchoresses”, details are given to the sins which are compared to the images of beasts to help protect women from the sins in the world, especially that of lust or lechery. Chaucer revealed in his “Canterbury Tales” many of the sins which existed throughout the society of the time in the tales told by his central characters. In an ironic twist, the Pardoner found in “The Pardoner’s Prologue” and “The Pardoner’s Tale” tells of many of the sins such as lust and gluttony but downplays the sin of greed, or avarice which he himself is the guiltiest. As he tells the tale of the greedy three rioters in Flanders, his audience enjoys the aspects of the sins retold and because of their greatest sin of all, the rioters meet Death. At this point the Pardoner pauses the story to try and extract more money from his patrons, the irony obvious to the reader but not as obvious to the Pardoner as he has readily admitted how he makes his living as a most dishonest man of fund gatherers. The deadly sin of greed seems accepted by the Pardoner, himself a representative of the Church. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
