9.2: How do the Abbess actions/ her physical appearance
change the outlook of the Nuns at the end of the story?
9.3: What is Boccaccio trying to show with the reoccurring
theme of women causing conflict and the physical abuse that
result from it?
9.5: On page 679-680 what’s the significance of Boccaccio
reversing the roles (earlier in the text we see Mona Tessa
being abuse by Calandrino and now we see the roles change).
Why do you think Boccaccio does this?
9.6: How does the idea of cleverness play out in the story?
What do you think Boccaccio is trying to say about a
woman’s ability to bend the truth? How does this coincide
with the tricky of the merchant’s wife in 7.5?
10.10: Compare the abuse between Mona Tessa and Calandrino
and Griselda and Gualleri. What is the difference between
the two? And do you think Gualleri actions towards Griselda
are acceptable or not?
