Question

The Pardoner's Tale presents atidy moral message, but the Pardoner himself is corrupt. does the creditability of the teller of the tale influence the moral of the tale? explain how.

Answer 1

Yes, it is true that the creditability of the teller of the tale influence the moral of the tale.

Mahatma Gandhi once said, ''Be the change you wish to see in the world".

If we look into the Pardoner's tale again, we will find that even after telling a story with a big moral message the host attacked the Pardoner viciously when he confronted the truth about the Pardoner being corrupted. When a person with dignity and intellect narrates a story with a moral message, people take it as a lesson in their life and try to be a better person just like the narrator. In contrast, when a evil or corrupted person talk about good and noble things, the audience try to see the greed behind such sweet words. Good fake words of corrupted politicians is best suited example to understand this phenomenon.
