In Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Pardoner’s Tale,” the author perfects the use of symbolism through the story. Symbolism is the use of powerful symbols that suggest meaning and mood, and all of its aspects are used to define the moral of the story. There is a great deal of symbolism throughout the entire story however the symbolism is very vague and is hard to define as meaning one thing or another. Symbolism, as well as irony, brings a lot more meaning to the story. ...
Symbolism is used to teach the lesson of the story, which is “Radix malorum est cupiditas,” or “Avarice is the root of all evil. ... Chaucer uses the seven deadly sins to represent the main characters through symbolism, to teach the lesson that greed always catches up with you in the end.
