Question

Explain why the Pardoner Characterize himself as a pigeon

~ The pardoner's Tale

Answer 1

Because he was a swindler.

Step-by-step explanation:

In The Pardoner's Tale prologue is written briefly Pardoner's methods to swindling people. So, from the beginning you can tell. But, not be confused, this is a moral tale.

Answer 2

The problem is that the Pardoner himself is greedy, and he has no desire to help his congregation but instead simply wants to make money. I hope my answer has come to your help. The Pardoner has no morals, and his character is "vicious" (fully vicious!). Yet here's the paradox - he can still ventriloquise a morally instructive story. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
