The pardoner tale 
Is a morality 
Because there is lesson to be taken in count. 
The moral is not to be looking death otherwise you will find death 
And there are human characters and if there were no human characters then it would be a fable 
Example: ladies and gentlemen as you meditate on the corpses of these three lively young people lying dead here around the old oak tree with the pile of gold in the middle think on this : if you go looking for death don't be surprised if you find him
