First we should start by saying an exemplum is an example or model, especially a moralizing or illustrative story. The pardoners tale is considered an exemplum because it gives an example of what greed is capable of doing to you. Or even someone close to you. He only cares about him self and does not ever really practice what he preaches. He also is only in it for money. He is a big liar, and very manipulative. The pardoners tales characters show lots of irony through out the whole story.
