Chaucer's views on the morality in the society in which he lives are revealed through his narration in descriptions of the other pilgrims. He begins his tale with details of nature, the revitalization of spring, and a holy pilgrimage. Ironically, the descriptions of the characters that follow are far from pure and holy as the opening lines depict. In the case of the Pardoner, Chaucer describes in detail the clothes he wears and the manner in which he carries himself. He directs readers to the observation that the Pardoner is a man who dresses well and wears his money on his belt, inferring that he values money and keeps it close to him. Perhaps the only character his narrator truly finds morally good is the Parson, who is ironically poor in wealth but a devout man. Meanwhile, the other clergymen dress in riches and do not want for food, but still seek the money of the poor for selfish means.
