What can the reader infer about the monk's character based on the fact that all of his stories contain the same tragic moral?

The monk, a fat hedonist who prefers to be out of his cloister. He prefers to hunt and eat and is not a lover of books and learning. He cites tragedy as being the story of a man fallen from high degree and then offers many examples such as anecdotes of Lucifer, Adam, Samson, Hercules, Balthasar, Ugolino of Pisa, Julius Caesar, and Croesus.
