The Pardoner’s Tale The Pardoner’s Tale is a unique story introduced by a unique character. The Pardoner preaches against sin and avarice by quoting that greed is the root of all evil. In his introduction to the others in the Canterbury Tales, he claims he has relics that he shows when he is preaching. These relics, he admits, are fake, and that he is gripped by the very greed he preaches against. The Pardoners tale also illustrates how sin can lead to a person’s downfall.

For example, the three rioters are in search for death, but when they find the gold, temptation takes over them.

This aroused people to think Poe was a sociopath and strange as a person in real life. The title, “The Cask of Amontillado” has a meaning of its own.

To remove people who reminds him that his nothing but a gentility and honor pretender, he plans to havoc their lives one by one.
