Chaucer mentions An haberdasshere and a carpenter, A webbe, a dyere, and a tapycer, -- as members of a Guild (somewhat similar to a trade organisation) all traveling together. But none of them seem to appear later in the narrative, and none of them have a story. So the Weaver (Webbe) doesn't really play any role in the Canterbury Tales; he is just a cameo.

"The Canterbury Tales" is a collection of over 20 stories written by Geoffrey Chaucer in the late 14th century. It is set against the backdrop of a group of pilgrims traveling to Canterbury Cathedral. The tales represent a mix of genres, including romance, comedy, fable, and moral allegory. Chaucer intended for each pilgrim to tell two stories on the way to Canterbury and two on the way back, but the collection was left unfinished. Characters in the tales come from diverse social classes and professions, providing a cross-section of medieval English society. The tales are written in Middle English and showcase Chaucer's skill in crafting intricate narratives. Some of the most famous tales include "The Knight's Tale," "The Wife of Bath's Tale," and "The Pardoner's Tale." Themes in the tales include love, betrayal, power, and the complexities of human nature. The Prologue to "The Canterbury Tales" provides vivid descriptions of each pilgrim, offering insights into their character and motives. Chaucer's work has had a lasting impact on English literature and is considered a cornerstone of medieval literature.

He uses relics and fake relics to swindle people out of money, and his practices play into the superstitious beliefs of the time. His manipulation of religious relics for personal gain would be viewed as deceitful and unethical by modern readers.
The Prologue to The Canterbury Tales introduces the character of the narrator, who meets a group of pilgrims at an inn in Southwark.
