Post 8: "The Parson's Tale"

Geoffrey Chaucer's, The Parson's Tale, is the final tale of "The Canterbury Tales". According to Wikipedia, "The Parson's Tale", seems to be the end of Geoffrey Chaucer's cycle to "The Canterbury Tales". The tale is one of the longest contributions of work by Chaucer's pilgrims. Since the tale is neither a poem nor a story, this makes the make all more intriguing. Throughout the tale, Parson spells out the Seven Deadly Sins, that must be avoided by all men: pride, anger, envy, sloth, gluttony, and lectery. But, the key thing for all these sins is forgiveness as well. Personally, Parson's character seems noble and trustworthy as a reader. Many readers have been known to skepticism when it comes to ending of Chaucer's tale.
