Talk:The Canterbury Tales
A contrast of religious faith in The Canterbury Tales[change source]
Both the Prioress and Pardoner are studies on the issue of religious faith: The Prioress is sincerely a beleivier in religious faith although she is ignorant of the deeper knowledge of faith as she sincerely repeats an old [false propaganda] blood libel as an fact of the miricle of faith {At the time the story was written no Jewish person had lived in England for over 250 years). In contrast The Pardoner by his favoite story The_Pardoner's_Tale shows he has much knowledge but no religious faith at all-except to cynically use it to support himself in food, wine and clothing-if there was an instance of a sinner actually repenting after hearing the "The Pardoner's Tale" the Pardoner cares not about this fact at all-as far as he is concerned the sinner soul can go blackberry for all he knows or cares. 72.49.135.188 (talk) 23:47, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
