... At the end of the story death ends up killing the greedy and this may be a method that Chaucer used as foreshadowing the Pardoners own death.
At the time of "The Pardoners Tale" the church was seen as very corrupt. ... This is wrong because the church is supposed to be a place of worship and holiness but at the time in "The Pardoners Tale" it was a time of cheating and greed. ... This is why "The Pardoners Tale" is so ironic to the character that is telling the story. The theme in "The Pardoners Tale" is mainly focused on irony. ... Chaucer decided to tell this tale to show that the Pardoner is greedy and nothing bad is expected to happen to him, but in "The Pardoners Tale" when the rebels go out they expect nothing bad to happen to them but then they all die in the end because of greed. ...
Chaucer put this quote in his tale to show his audience that at times death doesnt choose everyone. ... At this time in the tale their greed starts to kick in. ... At the end of this tale the greedy rebels all die, so in "The Pardoners Tale" death defeats the greedy rebels.
