Ever want to know about the irony in The Pardoner’s Tale? Well I am going to tell you about three examples, and here they are: How the Pardoner was greedy, yet the purpose of his tale was to not be greedy; How they tried to kill death, yet death killed them; How the two men at the tree wanted to kill the man who went to the store, then he came back and killed them.
The two men sent the third one to the town to get wine and bread, and also to find the safest way to bring the money in at night. While he was gone, they planned to kill him, but the one in town decided to kill them. This would show the reader some of the things that will be explained next.
In the story the three men went to kill death, yet by the end of the day they all killed each other over the money that was found do that they could have a bigger share. This would show the reader that they should not be greedy because karma will come back.
In The Canterbury Tales, the Pardoner was a greedy man. So its ironic how he tells a story with a message saying not to be greedy, which would make some readers think about what his morals are.
There are many ironic things in this story. but only certain things will catch the readers eye.
I like how you told use a little about the ironys that you were going to tell us about and went in to good detail on them
