Brodie's Notes on Chaucer's "Pardoner's Prologue and Tale" by Philip Gooden offers a comprehensive analysis of one of the most intriguing tales from "The Canterbury Tales." The story revolves around the Pardoner, a corrupt churchman who sells indulgences and exploits the gullibility of the faithful. In his prologue, he reveals his deceitful practices while using elaborate rhetoric to persuade his audience. The tale itself serves as a moral fable about greed and the destructive nature of avarice, featuring a trio of revelers who seek Death but ultimately find their own demise. Gooden’s notes provide insight into Chaucer's themes, characterization, and social commentary. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
