Chaucer's Pardoner openly admits the corruption of his practice while hawking his wares. The Pardoner is an enigmatic character, portrayed as grotesque in the General Prologue. The Pardoner obliges and his tale has a similar but contrasting moral message. Upon entering Kit's room, The Pardoner angrily finds Kit in bed with her paramour. Traditionally, it is translated as "Forgiver" and "Pardoner". It means "The Pardoner, The Most Forgiving, The Effacing, The Eliminator of Sins". With the kitchen pan, the Pardoner injures the innkeeper's shin (which later becomes infected). Although the Pardoner is physically injured, the greatest wounds are to his pride. Afterwards the Pardoner enters the scene and tries to sell pardoners. The Pardoner explains that he then offers many anecdotes to the "lewed [ignorant, unlearned] people". The Pardoner is also deceptive in how he carries out his job. That night, the Pardoner goes to Kit's room where she feigns sleep. The Pardoner stays behind at the inn with the intention of sleeping with Kit. The Pardoner apologises for frightening Kit, who tells him to return after everyone is asleep.
