The Better Canterbury Tale

In “The Pardoners Tale” the three men were greedy, traitors, and unlucky, and these qualities make for a better story. The men were really greedy. They all wanted the money for themselves. They each had a plan for killing each other to get the gold, thus making them all traitors. They all had plans to kill their own friends to get the riches. They were also very unlucky. Two of the men were planning to stab the one man, but he had planned to poison them, so eventually they all died. This story goes to show that if one is selfish, a turncoat, and unfortunate one is going to live a rough life.
