The Pardoner is a very untrustworthy person. He fools the world with this ideal of intelligence that we all have set in our mind. In the present day the pardoner would be a legitimate con artist. Most likely the head of some legal but not very beneficial pyramid scheme. He would wear fancy suits and talk very proper, but in a very trusting voice. He would be between 20 and 30 and probably never grow out of the con phase of his life, because he wouldn’t know how to work an honest day.
The pardoner's tale in this day and age would probably be something like, him getting sued for taking these peoples money without offering them what they thought they were getting. But somehow use his money, skills, and connections to get off the hook.
Sooner or later the people would get smart and stop buying into what ever he’s selling, and he'll be out on the street, probably thinking of another plan to use people, and get ahead in life. I believe the pardoner was a very captivating character and can be used to teach us alot about values and our own morels. Even in this day in age. Although his tale wasn't as good as his actual character (in my opinion), it was still interesting, and taught me alot about greed and even trust.
In today’s world, greed and trust would be an important factor to someone like the pardoner. It would be important to have friends you can trust when you’re abusing so many other peoples trust. And he, just like everyone else in this world would really have to worry about greed and maybe getting too much from the world.
