Chaucer's Tales and the Need for Another Reformation

The reference to the Canterbury tales sheds light on the need for another reformation, possibly directed towards evangelical institutions. The tale of the pardoner highlights the historical context of corruption and exploitation within the Church, reminiscent of the selling of relics and indulgences. This realization prompts a reflection on the parallel between the medieval practices and contemporary actions, leading to the recognition of the ongoing need for reformation and moral reckoning. The study of literature is valued for its ability to provide a broader perspective on recurring historical themes, emphasizing the continuity of human experiences and the essentiality of learning from past lessons.
