It depends what they are talking about.
If they are talking about the bombing of 9/11 then the tone would be serious, sad, mad at the other country for doing what they did.
But, if they are talking about a major- fun holiday- like Halloween then the tone would happy, excited, energetic! It just depends what the topic the author is talking about!!
Hoped this helped you! :))
The pardoner is the last pilgrim to be portrayed in the prologue. His estate belongs to the court of Rome. This gentle pardoner is thought to be worthy of respect; "He had a scholarly look" and "He was an honest person." Nevertheless, his pretension not to care for riches and his being "an unethical man" oppose the positive idea created. The inference that can be made from the excerpt is that he was an unethical man.
