Chaucer and Religion It is very rare that a book is written without the opinions of the author being clearly expressed somewhere within that book. Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales is one such book.

In Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Pardoner’s Tale,” the Pardoner serves as a moral exemplum, in that he exemplifies vices such as avarice and drunkenness that every good Catholic should avoid.
