Johnson’s plan went further than Lincoln’s and excluded those confederates who owned taxable property more than $20,000 from the pardon. He believed that the rich southerners were…

His manipulative, vile, and greedy intentions are what shape the Pardoner of who he really is. His characteristics can be seen by his deceptive jobs of making people believe that they have really sinned and influence them to buy pardons. The Pardoner's core of greed and manipulation is what creates him as the most evil and corrupted man in the trip. In "The Pardoner's Prologue," he states in lines 1-2, "But let me briefly make my purpose plain; I preach for nothing but for greed…
