This essay has been submitted to us by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our writers.
In this story there are four main themes and they are corruption of the church, deceit, money and greed, religion.
A theme in the story that I found to be important was the fact that the Yeoman doesn’t know what true or false is. This could relate back to the fact that the Canon would always manipulate the priest in order to get more funds and how he would also trick others for money and the Yeoman believing that the Canon actually created a precious metal. It can also relate to how the Yeoman didn’t realize what his master was really doing and how the Canon was able to trick his servant as well.
