The Pardoner's Tale

Over the past week, you have read several of the Canterbury Tales, Today, we will finish things up with The Pardoner's Tale. Full of greed, money, and death, the Pardoner certainly spins a morality tale to enchant those "yokel minds." Below, you will find the Tim McInnery version of the tale for review and comparison.


But don't think the Pardoner is the only one that can tell such a tale. Modern writer J. K. Rowling also tells a story of three brothers' interaction with Death. Watch below to see some similarities (as I am sure she must have had The Canterbury Tales in the back of her mind while writing)!
