"Death In the Pardoner's Tale death first takes shape as a thief stealing a man's life. This thief is first believed to be a man, which the trio is going to set out to look for... As they are searching a wise man explains to them that death is waiting for them under a large tree at the top of a hill. Greed is then introduced in the tale. This ever growing greed is the death that is awaiting them. Under the tree sits a great sum of gold. The three men decide to send one man for supplies while the other two stand guard. The two guarding the gold "meet" greed by deciding to kill the other man to receive more gold for themselves.
