Reread the excerpts from the"General Prologue," "The Pardoner's Tale," and "The Nun's Priest's Tale," keeping an eye out for the way the tales present apparent didactic messages. Then write a short analysis of each tale, noting its didactic qualities and the moral that the teller tries to impart. In your opinion, are the stories actually as didactic as they sound? In what ways do they depart from what is normally considered an "instructional" story? Support your analysis with relevant quotes from the excerpts.

    The Pardoner has - in recent years - become one of the most critically discussed of the Canterbury pilgrims. His tale is in many ways the exemplar of the contradiction which the structure of the Tales themselves can so easily exploit, and a good touchstone for highlighting precisely how Chaucer can complicate an issue without ever giving his own opinion.
