The Price of Everlasting Youth

But since he traded his soul, it all changed. It became easier and easier for him to sin, because he always had a defensive line ­ he does not have a soul. At first he wanted to be a greatness to others, but later he did not care about the oppinion of others at all. He was just so obsessed with his youth. He did everything he had to do, to stay forever young. For example, one night when Basil arrives to question Dorian about rumours of his indulgences, Dorian takes Basil to the portrait upstairs. The portrait is hideous as Dorian's sins. In anger, Dorian blames Basil for his fate and stabs him to death. Dorians is also the reason, why his first love, a very beautiful and talented actress named Sibyl Vane kills herself. The need to be different, superior to others, gets Dorian eventually killed. He wants to redeem his sins. Unfortunately, he lacks the feeling of quilt and fearing the consequences, he

The Summoner brings persons accused of violating Church law to ecclesiastical court. This Summoner is a lecherous man whose face is scarred by leprosy. He gets drunk frequently, is irritable, and is not particularly qualified for his position. He spouts the few words of Latin he knows in an attempt to sound educated. The Pardoner (est: INDULGENTSIMÜÜJA): Describe his personality and looks? How did he make his money? How religious was he? Pardoners granted papal indulgences--reprieves from penance in exchange for charitable donations to the Church. Many pardoners, including this one, collected profits for themselves. In fact, Chaucer's Pardoner excels in fraud, carrying a bag full of fake relics--for example, he claims to have the veil of the Virgin Mary. The Pardoner has long, greasy, yellow hair and is beardless. These characteristics were associated with shiftiness and gender ambiguity in Chaucer's time.
