Write a discussion paper that compares the values in The Pardoners Tale with the values in the film, A Simple Plan. (approx 1000 words)

MARK: 20/20

My theme has always been one, and ever was radix malorum est cupiditas. The love of money is the root of all evil its a maxim that remains as relevant today as it did in Geoffrey Chaucers time. In fact in todays world it seems all the more potent.

The Catholic Church in Rome was the dominant force in religious life, translating into a strong influence in everyday life. In the Catholic tradition, absolution from sin is obtained through confession, in which the penitent confesses to a priest who then absolves the sin and administers pentinance.
However a trade developed in which pardoners would travel the country selling pardons so as to absolve sins for money, this in a more modern context could be similar to door to door salesman.
The pardoner is the protagonist of this tale, and as he rails against avarice, he does so but for the love of money, in stark contrast of his exemplum. This blatant hypocrisy was a central value in The Pardoners Tale. That this avaricious pardoner should, when asked to tell about some moral thing, choose a story about money as the root of all evil, speaks not only out of insincerity, but as it happens, of pure self-interest. The Pardoners insistence on avarice as the root of all evil has been seen as a cover for his real sins of lechery and carnality.

Compiled with immensely strong religious connotations throughout as well as the obvious, the tale sets forth a distinct feeling to the reader as being a sermon read aloud. The focal point of the tale is to determine the moral question of greed and its closely associated forms such as gluttony and in doing so, delivering the Godly message to abstain from such practices that are considered to form a part of the seven deadly sins.

Chaucers Pardoner is someone who is at best corrupt, if not downright evil; cautioning against the very thing which he himself is guilty of love of money. The tale symbolises a wider dissatisfaction with church corruption, one of Chaucers main aims. While values in A Pardoners Tale were of great relevance to the fourteenth century, in the twenty-first century they have very little relevance to everyday life.

The Pardoners Prologue can be directly interpreted as his statement or introduction to the sermon that follows suit. The Pardoner employs a unique role in that his introducing us to the sins takes place through his personal experiences, actions and wrong-doings. For example, he mentions that I preach for nothing but for covetousness and enforces this later by the very vice I practice which is greed. Ultimately, we realise the immense hypocrisy of his sermon in that he is able to make other people part from avaricethough that is not my principal intent. Finally, by the end of the prologue, we are firmly aware of the concept that will form The Pardoners Tale Radix malorum est cupiditas.

Greed, envy and all similar sinful characteristics are chastised by Christianity and it is expected now that the Pardoner will tell a tale of days long done that will denounce greed a formidable deadly sin.
The peroration is striking in the passage as we are distinctly made aware of the several ironies that engulf the entire tale. Other than the Pardoners own ironic faith whereby he practices what he preaches against gluttony and avarice, the tale within itself mirrors such problems. The three men, though they are a deadly force to any who may stand against them they are easily crippled when they are made to face their personal ambitions or moral character. In this case it is gluttony and greed and we see them being ripped apart from the inside as they can no longer rest upon each other in support. This metaphorical connotation is represented by their very final acts where the kill each other.

The final important irony is when we see that is was the old man who was the strongest of all. His physical limitations were inevitably his greatest strength. Being unable to carry the immense pile of gold with his crippled body, the old beggar has come to accept the worlds limitations and taken heed of spiritual strength. Perhaps this is why Death does not claim him even after all these years because he would emerge victorious by living on forever in Gods heaven. He displays the greatest moral strength and personal integrity and that is why even though people are dying in the village and there is a looming hysteria the old beggar not only survives but is seen to be the most wise and most deserving of a good life.

"You work for the American Dream--you don't steal it." So says a Minnesota family man early in A Simple Plan, but he is only repeating an untested theory. Confronted with the actual presence of $4 million in cash, he finds his values bending, and eventually he's trapped in a horror story of greed, guilt and murder. The materials of Sam Raimi's A Simple Plan are not unfamiliar; the central character is Hank Mitchell (Bill Paxton), who in a narration at the beginning gives us his father's formula for happiness: "A wife he loves. A decent job. Friends and neighbours that like and respect him."
A Simple Plan sees the incorporation of several ideas and values similar to those in the older text A Pardoners Tale. In A Simple Plan, the director seeks to tell us about some moral things but in a modern context, unfettered by the ecclesiastical politics of Chaucers day.
The modern context is informed by a powerful force in the American psyche the romance of the farm. Just as Chaucer sought to highlight inequities in the pardon system, a key element in A Simple Plan is farming sector reform, and the inequities it created. Simple Plan is tied to the diminishing power, place and devaluation of the farmer in America. In its place the monopoly of conglomerates have replaced what was seen as the backbone of American culture and society. The individual and his demise in American society could well be symbolic of the demise and corruption of the traditional Christian code as the core of American culture.

This movie explores issues of greed, human relationships, betrayal and redemption, personal innocence and responsibility as well as the effects on the human psyche when deprived of a perceived right in this case the American dream of owning ones own farm. Hanks deceleration in the initial moral debate with Jacob and Lou over the money in the plane that, you work for the American dream, not steal it. Defines fundamental traditional morality which quickly transforms into personal obsession that echoes radix malorum est cupitidas, from A Pardoners Tale. The complexity of the context and personality in A Simple Plan allows, invites and demonstrates the subtleties of making moral choices in a world that is largely immoral.

In A Simple Plan complexities of real people are shown, and in reality, there is no such thing as a simple plan and so simple people in reality, because of the complexities of human nature dont exist either. It poses the question, not just that love of money is the root of all evil, but that complex humans act in a way where good people are capable of great evils. This compares significantly with The Pardoners Tale where the 3 rioters are stereotyped without complexities.

In A Simple Plan these vices and devaluement of morals represents more complex characterisation because there are most complex motives, the money being the central instigator of the action.
The age of faith has now become the age of reason as hank the protagonist tries to maintain his innocence through rationalisation, its not a crime unless someone gets hurt. This coupled with his wifes attempts to hide any evidence or hinder any suspicion takes them both on a journey, a slow evolving journey where both have fallen from places of moral goodness to places of tragic evil as husband and wife. This being similar to the journey undertaken by the three rioters, the difference being that hank and Sarahs journey is metaphorical whereas the rioters are literal as they search for death.

Its the American dream in a god damn gym bag!. one can see that it isn't just A Pardoner's Tale, but A Simple Plan also involves the temptations and passion the three rioters felt. The sin of avarice is rife throughout both texts and the above passage gives an insight into the rationale of Hank, Jacob and Lou.
This is a key moral element introduced into A Simple Plan; greed, and the question of who owns the money. In A Pardoners Tale this issue never arises, the fact of the money is enough. The three rioters certainly never discuss whose money it is; merely what theyre going to do with it. The issue of ownership never seems to occur to them; their only concern is not appearing to look as thieves. In A Simple Plan however the question is crucial. The issue of ownership of such a large amount of money cant be swept under the carpet, as Chaucer did, by simply saying that it belongs to someone more culpable. When Hank, Jacob and Lou first find the money they rationalise their discussion to keep it by inferring that it is drug money. This is a very convenient explanation renders the owner a criminal of the worst sort, and in any case, the guy in the plane is dead.

Another key value between A Pardoners Tale and A Simple Plan lies in the films tag line sometimes good people do evil things. In A Pardoners Tale there is no suggestion that the protagonists, these rioters three have any redeeming features at all. In other words, it is established prior to their actions that they are morally reprehensive. When they find the money, their reaction is therefore entirely predictable. In A Simple Plan however, the 3 men who find the money in the movie are not morally reprehensive in the same way.

The dichotomy between good people and evil things doesnt emerge in The Pardoners Tale, the three rioters are clearly not good people. So when they do something evil, it comes as no surprise. Of course on a different level, the tale makes a point about the pardoner himself. He seeks to take the moral high ground by telling his story; but in doing so merely serves to highlight his own hypocritical nature. His merely telling of the tale is in a sense evil. The listeners have urged him to tell of a moral story, and yet he seeks to manipulate them into buying his pardons.

In A Simple Plan moral fibre is not a guide to behaviour. The 3 characters with whom we most sympathise Hank, Jacob and Sarah commit acts which most people would regard as evil. They do so not so much because of circumstance as so much of human nature. Financial institutions and situations, societal issues, and family imperatives all inform the characters actions.
To an extent every story is a product of its time. In A Pardoners Tale the story of the three men finding a cache of money is informed by issues pertinent to Chaucers society. When A Simple Plan was made the issues facing America in the late twentieth century informed his tale. Even though Raimi uses the same basic premise, he transforms the ideas and the characters to address contemporary concerns. The key issue that Chaucer addresses of corruption in the church is replaced by dilemmas facing rural America and he introduced additional characters to alter the moral perspective of the story, making those issues relevant to a contemporary audience by addressing similar values as those in A Pardoners Tale.

heres another, just random notes, i hav more if you want

'every tale is a product of its time.'

MARK: 20/20

The Pardoners Prologue can be directly interpreted as his statement or introduction to the sermon that follows suit. The Pardoner employs a unique role in that his introducing us to the sins takes place through his personal experiences, actions and wrong-doings. For example, he mentions that I preche nothing but for coveitise, and enforces this later by thus kan I preche again that same vice/ which that I use and that is avarice. Ultimately, we realise the immense hypocrisy of his sermon in that he is able to make other people part from avarice though, that is nat my principal entente. Finally, by the end of the prologue, we are firmly aware of the concept that will form The Pardoners Tale Radix malorum est cupiditas.

Hanks deceleration in the initial moral debate with Jacob and Lou over the money in the plane that, you work for the American dream, not steal it. Defines fundamental traditional morality which quickly transforms into personal obsession that resonates in radix malorum est cupitidas, from A Pardoners Tale. The complexity of the context and personality in A Simple Plan invites and demonstrates the subtleties of making moral choices in a world that is largely immoral.

In A Simple Plan complexities of real people are shown, and in reality, there is no such thing as a simple plan or simple people. It poses the question, not just that love of money is the root of all evil, but that complex humans act in a way where good people are capable of great evils. This contrasts significantly with The Pardoners Tale where thise riotoures thre are simply archetypal characters without complexities.

In A Simple Plan these vices and devaluement of morals represents more complex characterisation because there are most complex motives, the money being the central instigator of the action.
The age of faith has now become the age of reason as hank the protagonist tries to maintain his innocence through rationalisation, its not a crime unless someone gets hurt. This coupled with his wifes attempts to hide any evidence or hinder any suspicion takes them both on a journey, a slow evolving journey where both have fallen from places of moral goodness to places of tragic evil. This being similar to the journey undertaken by the riotoures thre, the difference being that hank and Sarahs journey is metaphorical whereas the rioters are literal as they search to sleen this false traytour deeth.

Another key contrast is the addition of a female character in a simple plan. The juxtaposition of her evil over the benign and innocent mother figure she represents makes her moral choices seem grimmer. Unlike the riotoures thre, the concept and addition of a woman and mother figure that represents such evil adds another dimension and concept of moral values in the post modern world.

Its the American dream in a god damn gym bag! one can see that it isn't just A Pardoner's Tale, but A Simple Plan also involves the temptations and passion the three rioters felt. The sin of avarice is rife throughout both texts and the above passage gives an insight into the rationale of Hank, Jacob and Lou.

The listeners have urged him to tell of some myrthe or japes, and yet he seeks to manipulate them into buying his pardons.

The symbolism of the crows represents death, evil and foreshadowing the ritual of predator and victim in this take of destruction is used as a powerful image throughout the film/ in one dolly shot the camera surveys the men below as from the eyes of a crow arcing over the tree tops implying the sense of their smallness in the wasteland similar to creatures of prey vulnerable to a hostile world. The use of voice over at the beginning and end of the film commands a detached almost surrealistic narration that blends with the similarly surrealistic world and events that take place. The variation of camera speed in the murder scenes of the farmer and Nancy both serve to enhance the sense of surrealism and paradoxically reality to the numbed sense of the viewer. The use of discordant and jarring symphony of sounds reinforces the jarring, discordant world that is out of harmony with the lack of moral order in the human context.

All these devices in comparison with the poetic devices of Chaucer clearly accentuate the imagery involved with the story. However, Chaucer also used the vernacular, metaphors, similes, juxtaposition, and personification with great visual power through language. It could be argued that Raimi has achieved visually what Chaucer has achieved linguistically to support and emphasise the moral values of both texts.

In A Simple Plan moral fibre is not a guide to behaviour. The three characters with whom we most sympathise Hank, Jacob and Sarah commit acts which most people would regard as evil. They do so not so much because of circumstance as so much of human nature. Financial institutions and situations, societal issues, and family imperatives all inform the characters actions.

The key issue that Chaucer addresses of corruption in the church is replaced by dilemmas facing rural America and he introduced additional characters to alter the moral perspective of the story, making those issues relevant to a contemporary audience. Issues within a pardoners tale have been transformed to be adapted to a contemporary situation in a simple plan. The inspiration of the known reflects upon the new, while the new resonates upon the known.

Feature Article: Module A: Transformations in Chaucer’s The Pardoner’s Tale and Raimi’s A Simple Plan

• The main difference between an essay and a feature article is the way it engages the audience through its tone. Be witty and informative.

How Simple the Highway to Hell Really Is

About two months ago, I finally went to watch a thriller movie. It was a big step for me, for my eyes had become suctions, resting comfortably over Australian Idol, Survivor and possibly the millionth series of Big Brother – things that probably taught me nothing except for how sloth-like I had become. I refocused my eyes to the real reality, and I found myself watching Sam Raimi’s A Simple Plan.

As the bullets surged across the screen, the little coloured pixels that were bored of being black and white were suddenly seared with a deadly red. I panicked. I felt like I was grasping Chaucer’s A Pardoner’s Tale tightly to my chest, crumpling like my certainty of my immortal soul, as if it could protect me from the countless sins that had probably already tainted me to the volcanic pits of eternal damnation… I was welded to my seat, gripping onto the chair’s arms so I could not be pulled violently to the fires below, glaring at all the signs and symbols that just appeared everywhere over the screen, reminding me that my pitiful soul was doomed – (but also told me to stay and watch the rest of the film).

The most entertaining aspect of the film was its relation to Chaucer’s text, as I had mentioned earlier. I had been persuaded that I was doomed by realizing the transformations within Chaucer’s text and Raimi’s film as well as why.

Both texts were clearly a transformation from a fable that was passed on by word of mouth which simply follows: three men find treasure, agree to split it, but end up filling themselves with greed and paranoia that they all die. Not enough depth to it? What’s missing is a context.

In the 14th century, the historical dominant discourse was that the narrative would possess certain memorable doctrines. In the context of Chaucer’s time, story telling was required justification by means of moral teaching, or in better words, direct moral preaching. The 1300’s were strongly defined with the Christian faith, which had been the forefront enforcement that constructed exactly what was “good” and “bad”. Thus, Christian leaders such as a pardoner would have great power over society. Chaucer’s character of the Pardoner sermonized what was good and bad in such a way that his language in the way he enforced morals, as well as his questionable character, became satirical. Yet his greed and hypocrisy, although Chaucer may have been questioning the role of Christian leaders of that time, a didactic element can be found. “I preche of no thing but for coveityse. /Therfor my theme is yet, and evere was, /Radix malrorum est cupiditas” (21 & 111) In Chaucer’s text, the message is that avarice is the root of all evils. In Raimi’s film, the same message seems to still apply in the present context.

Chaucer found no interest in the direct preaching of moral telling convention. As a common tie, Christian leaders agreed that people were better reached by metaphor. In St Gregory’s words: “there are many who are drawn to love of the Heavenly Kingdom more by exempla than through direct teaching,” thus, the use of an exemplum became common: resulting in the creation of a satirical character of the Pardoner – a character that over-preaches the sins of avarice, yet feeds on avarice himself, asking for a payment in his pardons.

In context in which Raimi wrote (in 1998), America was in a gossip whirlpool, questioning the moralities of certain political figures, as well as the atmosphere of ignorance when it came to worldly surroundings such as the bombing in Serbia. Although these texts were written 600 years apart, the contexts in which both writers compose involved a world of paradox – the sinful pardoner that forgives in God’s name demonstrating the status in which religion were over mere commoners, and the judgement of the American media questioning certain moralities, turning a blind eye to other moralities. The world in which Chaucer and Raimi wrote was not black and white.

The importance of these contexts is its influence in the transformation of both texts. A different context could mean a different set of values and systems, for example, the status of women as well as their level of education seem to deeply influence Chaucer’s text. “Medieval schoolboys learnt antifeminism with their Latin,” says A.C. Spearing, writer of The Canterbury Tales IV: exemplum and fable. Although Chaucer regarded fables as merely fiction, the treatment of women in both texts is incredibly interesting – women in Chaucer’s text only appearing as symbols of temptation in contrast to the role of Sarah in Raimi’s film.

Sarah plays several crucial roles in A Simple Plan. Appearing first as a friendly local librarian, Sarah convinces Hank that if she had found four million dollars, she would indeed immediately turn it to the police. Having a similar educated background as Hank, both Hank and Sarah at first stand by what they had been educated to understand as the right thing to do.

Through increasing avarice, Sarah almost instantaneously switches roles and plays Hank’s pardoner: Hank ever going to her for validations for his actions. “Does it scare you? …I just want to know if it’s possible,” begs Hank, justifying the death of local man Dwight Stevenson. Cradling her newborn baby, Sarah strangely and possessively continues to think of more cover-up schemes for other characters’ tracks, but never participating in the actual “dirty work”. The appearance of women in Raimi’s film can be interpreted as the manipulative voice for Hank, suggesting intertextual references to Shakespeare’s Lady MacBeth or Eve from the Bible. The fact that both Hank and Sarah feel the need to pretend to be like everyone else towards the end reinforces the theme of eternal damnation and the intertextual reference to The Fall Of Man. The characters cannot die and lose the very things they took for granted: friends, family and guiltlessness.

The superb thing about the relationship between these two texts in relation to characterization, the texts portrays that these evils or avarice are classic. References to The Fall of Man, similarly to the references to Jesus’ torture in Chaucer’s text, “Our blessed Lordes body totere, - /Hem thoughte that Jewes rente hym noght ynough,” (474 & 475) emphasize the purity of such evil in these sins. Jacob memorably asks Hank, “Do you feel evil? I do… feel evil,” showing that Chaucer’s corrupt character of the pardoner can be found within many of today’s people, represented in the characters of Hank, Sarah, and so on.

In Chaucer’s transformation of the fable, the fable was transformed into a written medium, where an audience can be reached through dialogue, religious references and stereotypes. As a film, similar things in oral and written texts such as intertextuality apply, but as a visual aspect, a context is required of a society that people could relate to as well including an “everyman” to put your shoes in. Values had to be enforced in such a way that it would affect today’s audience, which in this case, was through suspense and relatively logical or human reactions. For example, in contrast to the religious references appearing in Chaucer’s text, Raimi’s characters take little notice of their constant blasphemy and consumption of alcohol, demonstrating that the fear of eternal damnation is not as strong as it once was. The transformation of the text into visual language are then much required, for example, in regard to symbolic representations of eternal damnation and evil, the crow (awaiting for something to die) and the fox (which later appears stuffed behind Hank as he shaves) are required to affect the modern audience. Punishments such as being alone, thinking of what should or could have been becomes much more effective in reaching the audience deepest fears, where in Chaucer’s highly religious context, audiences probably would have been better affected through means of religion, in other words, deeply afraid of being burnt forever in hell.

So as the depths of hell closed up, I unbuckled myself from the seat and felt somehow judged. I felt like I owed something to society for the days I had wasted (how many days had I been curled up in that sofa, I don’t know) let alone would probably waste in the future (I fear that Channel Ten will never believe that the Big Brother Phenomenon will ever end), or the times I lied, swore, got greedy, or other such vanities and avarice. I wanted to save myself, because hell was indeed much closer to home. I became incredibly aware that avarice was the root of all evils (and that the root of all avarice was from watching reality television shows). I was only aware of this fact through the transformations undertaken in A Simple Plan to better affect people like me: the modern audience. Like the way Chaucer and Raimi’s text communicated with each other through their transformation in dealing with context, characterization development and themes, I finally turned off that television and wanted to go on my own transformations.

needless to say, I LOVE YOU

needless to say, I LOVE YOU

hahahaha, anything for you amoz_lilo. Hope Riverside isn't missing us too much.

 

[ur_inner_child]

I'm just going to bump this, considering all the transformation people are starting to panic, and I had to dig deep to find this thread....

ps, can someone move it to the transformations module anyway?

Hmm..maybe one of the mods should merge it with the other large Pardoners/Simple Plan thread, that way everything that Telepathetic, Dreamerish,you and I have written up would be in the same thread then they can sticky it...

 

[Dreamerish*~]

ok, first of all, i have the deepest empathy for amoz_lilo.

secondly, and also lastly, go look at the other thread as well.

 

[ameh]

It's nice to see we're up the same creek.

But now, I'm pretty screwed for module B

 

[Dreamerish*~]

Oh, I made up complete BS for Module B and got full marks. It's too bad I don't remember what I wrote.

Thanks to u_i_c and Telepathic for their contributions. Appreciated beyond appreciation.

 

[kami]

Since there is another help thread in the forum on this module I thought I would link to it here, and Dreamerish if you ever have any problems(the rest of you too) just ask and I'll try my best to answer and I'd give a good wager that u_i_c will too if she notices it.
*has an article and contemplates on whether or not its worth typing all 1400 words*

 

[ur_inner_child]

oh so do it kami, it'd be hot.


haha i just read my feature article again and its still so relevant cuz big brother is still on.

wow....those 2 responses are bigger than anything i hav ever written!!!


are we really expected to write that much?!

they're about 1500 words, and you'll notice that my one spends about 400 of it introducing or ending or making random comments. not the best thing to make my random intro as long as I made it, but I reckon you'll be able to fill out a decent amount of work in. its not quantity its quality

[ianc]

THANK YOU!!!!

now all i have to do is read it.....
