3.3: This story shows how it is easy for someone to deceive someone. It also shows how someone who is naïve and unwise will easily falls for things. The women was very deceptive, but the friar believed her because she was married, upset, crying, and a noble women who gave him money. She knew she couldn’t send a messenger, or write him a letter so she used the friar to communicate with the guy. I didn’t really think that the friar was going to fall for her lies because the friar is with the guy most of the time so wouldn’t he have seen him or noticed something. I thought it was ironic how she sent the messages by saying the opposite of what she meant, which shows how words and how people say things can hold more than one meaning all depending how you look at it.
3.6: The story shows how our jealousy can blind us. When we are jealous we never fully think things out but instead we react. The main character Ricciardo takes advantage of the fact that Catella is a jealous woman. The fact that she is insecure doesn’t help the situation because she isn’t really thinking things through, but instead is going off what Ricciardo is saying. Catella isn’t confident within neither herself nor her marriage so anything that is said to her about something bad her husband does or doesn’t do she will believe because she has no trust in her husband. This makes it easy for her to fall for Ricciardo trick. It’s funny how the whole time she was worried about her husband cheating, but then she turns around and has an affair with Ricciardo. The only time someone can be insecure with their relationship is when they are accusing their partner of something that they are doing or thinking of doing.
3.9: Giletta is a doctor. When Beltramo di Rossiglione is sent to France she is saddened because she fallen in love with him and he was being taken from her. Giletta would marry no other man and waited for her chance with Beltramo. When she heard the King of France was ill and no one could cure him, and only made it worse she took this opportunity not only to help the king, but to get Beltramo. When promised the king she could cure him in 8 days if she didn’t she would be killed, but if she did the king promised her Beltramo’s hand on marriage.
4.3: The story shows how love is blind and it can take over your mind. Sometime what you think is love truly isn’t. Love is made to be this passionate and happy ever after thing, like nothing bad happens. Love can make people do things that they thought they would never do. This is apparent with the three sisters running off with their lovers, thinking everything will end in harmony, but instead four people die and only two are left. The story shows how sometimes love can be tragic; in this story love was an emotional toll. The difference between actual love and perceived love is actual love is “real” love its genuine and perceived love is superficial. On the outside you see something or some sort of affection that is perceived as love, but on the end side it’s not love but merely an act of kindness.
4.9: the revenge in this story is gorier. Rossiglione doesn’t kill his wife, but instead kills Guardastagno and makes her eat his heart. Rossiglione could have killed her, but instead it seems he leads her to take her own life which makes it more dramatic. Either way in the end Rossiglione wife still ends up with Guardastagno when they are buried together so it’s like that eternal love, Rossiglione wife kills herself so that she can be with him.
