Why do you think that the Pardoner is so upfront about the mechanics of his chicanery (the use of trickery to achieve a politica

l, financial, or legal purpose)? If he wants to dupe the pilgrims into buying his phony pardons, why does he expose to them his sham? What might this say about the Pardoner’s character?

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.
