It is fitting that the Pardoner relates this grim tale because he, of all the pilgrims,

• has the greatest fear of dying violently on the pilgrimage
• has just witnessed such greed and how it affects people
• is just as greedy for money as the subject of his tale
• is a holy man who does not care for the things of this world
