This question is related to the short story "The Open Window"
Answer:
Vera is a country girl, but instead of showing country and naive traits, Vera shows herself to be a very polite, controlled and centered girl. This can be seen right when she meets Mr. Frampton Nuttel, at the beginning of the story. However, despite these positive qualities, in the course of the plot, Vera shows herself to be an astute, malicious and very intelligent girl.
Vera is not really a villain, but she is quite manipulative and manages to hit Mr. Frampton Nuttel squarely with his subterfuge. We can understand that she does this to have a distraction from the monotonous life of the countryside and to rule her control and intelligence in someone weaker.
The Pardoner is very frank about his cheating because he is proud of the way he acts and knows that deceiving people with religious concepts is very easy, even if those people know they are being deceived.
We can arrive at these answers because:
- The Pardoner is a corrupt clergyman who exploits the faith of people with false religious beliefs to seize their wealth.
- He's good at cheating and takes great pride in it showing all the cheating techniques he has.
- While wanting to explore the pilgrims, he shows off what he has achieved through the exploration of the faithful.
That's because he knows how people can be manipulated and deceived through religious concepts, even though these people know they are falling into a trap, as clergy can encourage fear and despair, leading people to give away what they have. That's why he's frank about his cheating.
