The problem is that the Pardoner himself is greedy, and he has no desire to help his congregation but instead simply wants to make money. I hope my answer has come to your help. <span>The Pardoner has no morals, and his character is "vicious" (fully vicious!). Yet here's the paradox - he can still ventriloquise a morally instructive story. </span>God bless and have a nice day ahead!
In The Pardoner's Tale prologue is written briefly Pardoner's methods to swindling people. So, from the beginning you can tell. But, not be confused, this is a moral tale.
