  • A The Pardoner's Tale 
  • B The Wife of Bath's Tale 
  • C The Knight's Tale

The Pardoner's Tale is a moral allegory about three rioters who, in their quest to find Death and kill him, are led by their greed to their own destruction. This tale serves as a cautionary message about the dangers of avarice and the inevitability of death. It also highlights the Pardoner's own hypocrisy, as he uses this tale to manipulate people into buying his false relics.
