Summary of the Parson's Tale

As the final story of Canterbury Tales,The Parson doesn't give a typical entertaining tale, but more of a handbook or guideline, listing sins and the appropriate penance for each, which he breaks into three parts.Part one is basically the definition of Contrition, Confession, and Satisfaction.
In part two, the Parson expands on the rewards of confession. He also explains that sin is the direct effect of competition for dominance between one's flesh and spirit, which produces two types of sin: minor and deadly.
In part three, he expands on what those deadly sins are. Envy, wrath,sloth,greed,gluttony,lust, and worst of all, pride.He then, shares the remedies for these sins: humility, contentment, patience, fortitude, mercy, moderation,and chastity.And once you confess orally with sincere contrite(remorse)and apply the remedies to your life, you will be at peace and gain satisfaction.
