This paper examines the way in which The Parson's Tale changes the way we read The Canterbury Tales. In comparison to The Wife of Bath, The Pardoner's Tale, and The Monk's Tale this becomes quite obvious in the context of how the Church is portrayed. The Parson's Tale reminds us that Chaucer is not against the Church, as might be implied in his many tales, but only against the human corruption within it. 11 pgs. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
