Throughout, Macbeth and his wife have a lot similarities compared with "The Pardoner's Tale". In "The Pardoners's Tale", the friends, or so called friends, find the riches under the tree, and they all become jealous and selfish. They end up killing each other from greed and selfishness. Similarly, Macbeth and his wife became very jealous of King Duncan's social status, and kill him to get what they want. But the murder will not be forgotten, and will soon catch up to them!

Like in the "Pardoners' Tale", Macbeth and Lady Macbeth become selfish, greedy, and unpatient. The prophacy says that Macbeth will be king but they refuse to wait and they take action in their own hands. In the "Pardoners' Tale", they can be patient and wait until they have all the resources they need to move the money but instead they decide to be greedy and kill each other so they can get everything for themselfs like in the play "Macbeth".
