The Pardoner
Job Description
The Pardoners job description entails that he pardon people based on the churches list of crimes. If a person commits a sin, the church arrests him. Then the pardoner decides whether or not the person's sin was bad or wicked enough to be killed or punished.
Physical Description
The Pardoner is described as an ugly yet well dressed clergymen with a high pitched voice, bulgy eyes, and beardless with long yellow hair. The way Chaucer describes the Pardoner, you cannot tell if he is homosexual or a eunuch. (castrated in Old English)
Psychological Description
Upper-Class: Due to his position within the church, the Pardoner is looked up to by the people.
Whenever the Pardoner is mentioned within Canterbury Tales he is always showing a kniving, clearly corrupt disposition. When all the characters ride in together during the general procession the Pardoner is in the back, showing that he does not trust anyone. the Pardoner is easily the most wicked, greedy and manipulative character.
