Paper Topic

Hey Jason...I am doing my paper on the Pardoner and the notions of sympathy, revulsion, terminality (meaning the state of being a body which is terminal, not reproductive) and homosexuality. I am trying to blend the scholarship I've read to get a clean picture, however vague, of the Pardoner and why the description of his body - and questionable sexual disposition - fits well with his admission of his deceitful practices and his tale of death, essentially a tale of what it means to be a terminal body.

SO far that's the best I can do to describe this paper.
