What are the six themes in the Shipmans Tale from the Canterbury Tales by Chaucer?

Question

I was told by my english teacher that there are six themes in this tale. He read them off really fast, and i don't remember what they are. I have read the tale, but i cant figure out what the themes are. If anyone can help that would be great.

Answer 1

I don't know which ones your teacher said, but that story includes the following themes: corruption of the clergy, sex, money and wastefulness, deceit, family obligations, and the duties of a host.
