Greed

    The pardoner only thinks of himself. He is obsessive over riches and money. He also loves food and all of the riches the world has to offer. He constantly is thinking of ways for himself to get more money, so he can get more riches. His character truly represents greed.

The way you can get into heaven

    What the pardoner does is tricky and deceiving. He tells people he can help them out on one cost, if they are willing to give him their riches, this includes their jewels/jewelry, as well as their shillings, if they are to agree to this he will give them a paper "proving" they have been forgiven from their sins. Needless to say, he just deceives these people into getting their riches from them.

Conman

  The pardoner is also a conman. He tricks people by persuading them to come forward and offer money by making a sermon, and at this sermon he pronounces that any woman who has cuckolded her husband, or anyone who has committed a sin thats far too horrible to even admit to, will be unable to approach his relics. This just persuades anyone who falls under these sins to feel guilt and offer money.

The pardoner is hypocritical because although he is the one who is sinning, he preaches to people to not sin. He may deliver a good message to people but this just makes him a complete hypocrite for going against everything he stands for.

  The pardoner may be evil, but nonetheless this does not mean he is not an intriguing character. He is a very provocative character in the Canterbury tales who happens to be open about his own faults and hypocrisy. His own self-evaluation makes his character not one to look up to, but just a bit more respected. 

By reading the tale, it is apparent that the pardoner is intelligent. he is psychologically  astute, and he is well read. He has profited well from his profession. He uses the church and holy religious objects as tools to profit personally, and because of this Chaucer places him at the bottom of humanity.

The pardoner is a character who is an important and crucial part of the Canterbury tales. He serves not only an important role but delivers a message in the story to the audience. Although he is not moral himself, he can tell a very moral tale. This alone makes his character note-worthy.
