Perhaps there is not a faster place in the world, and yet there are few more conspicuous for works of true benevolence.

hypocrisy.   Although the Pardoner is extremely greedy, he continues to try and teach that "Avarice is the root of all evil" (6).  The characters in his tale display great hypocrisy as well.  As the tale begins, the friends all act very trustworthy and faithful towards all of their friends.  They nobly make a decision to risk their lives while trying to slay their friend's murderer.  As they talk about their challenge, they pledge "to live and die each of them for the other, / As if he were his own blood
