Answer:

The Pardoner is characterized as an effective speaker and a skilled con artist.

Explanation:

Satire is the use of humor, irony or exaggeration to expose or criticize a human folly or vice. It can be used to address social issues and encourage social change.

In "The Pardoner's Tale," Geoffrey Chaucer exaggerates the Pardoner's extreme greed. In the excerpt, the Pardoner is portrayed as a deceiving orator who makes fun of his job and the people he exonerates.

Further Explanation:

<u>The Canterbury Tales is a collection of 24 stories in total and these stories run over 17000 lines which are written in the Middle English language between the period of 1987 to 1400 by Geoffrey Chaucer.</u> The Canterbury tales are seen as the magnum opus of Chaucer and almost all the characters from these stories are fictional but they offer a variety of insights to the customs and practices which used to take place during that period of time.  

All the characters from the story express different views of reality which leads to the creation of the atmosphere which as filled with testing, empathy, and relativism. <u>These tales also put a reflection on the diverse views of the Churches in Chaucer’s England and the two characters of the story who are the pardoner and a summoner, both are portrayed as deeply greedy, corrupt, and abusive.    </u>
