Which literary element best describes the resolution of the pardoner's tale?

I think it’s the theme that money is the root of all evil.  The three men were so thrilled at seeing all that money that they forgot about death and plotted how to keep it for themselves. In the end, they all killed each other over the money fulfilling what the old man said about finding death under a tree.
