The Pardoner's Tale in Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" uses ethos by presenting the Pardoner as a credible figure despite his hypocrisy. Pathos is employed through emotional manipulation of the audience's fear of damnation. Logos is utilized by the Pardoner to offer a seemingly logical solution to avoid sin through purchasing indulgences.
