- Description
- The Host's retort to the Pardoner at the close of PardT reinforces a connection between the terms and concepts of testicles (false or otherwise) and relics (false or otherwise). A trilingual collection (French, Latin, and English) of terms along with allusions to the "Roman de la Rose" reinforce Chaucer's critique of the Pardoner and his enterprise.
