He had blonde hair and he did everything to get money. He carried false relics and with these he made a lot of money. But he called himself a pardoner and I think that he thought what he did was right. (But hood, for jolitee, wered he noon,For it was trussed up in his walet.Hym thoughte he rood al of the newe jet.) He did not wear his hat, which had the symbol of Christ on it, he had it hidden in his wallet because he wanted to be modern. That way Chaucer made fun of the pardoners and the Church, because in my opinion he thought that they were corrupted and dishonest and only up for their own good. In the general prologue, where Chaucer described almost all of the characters, he satirized the values of that era. He found the fact that people were divided into social classes depending on the size of their fortune wrong. He pointed out that simple people who worked hard and earney their money themselves were much more honourable than people who lied to get it
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.
