Yes, indeed. Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" is a classic example of a frame story. The overarching narrative involves a group of pilgrims traveling together and each telling a tale during their journey to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket. These individual tales, told by different characters with diverse backgrounds, are framed within the larger context of the pilgrimage, creating a layered and interconnected storytelling structure.You can Explore a world of captivating fiction and literary insights at @ibnobattuta.library

They may be based on a variety of occupational types such as the Miller, several clergyman, the Pardoner"s tale ( not a Western!) and so on. all of these charactersd were tourists on a pilgrimage to the Canterbury Cathedral. a somewhat similar plot device was used by Boccasio"s Decameron ( chamber of ten stories, roughly)/
The Pardoner offers to take money off of the hands of his fellow pilgrims, so they won't be tempted to relive the same fate as the rioters in his story.
This offer can be seen as ironic, since the Pardoner, in his prologue, makes it very clear that he doesn't believe his own preaching, and his sermons preach against greed only so he can profit off of his listeners.
