The stories from these two days deal with trickery (not a new topic in the Decameron).
I'd like you to write your own questions for two of the tales and then answer them, keeping in mind the notion of trickery (for instance -- Why do you think it is such a common theme running throughout these 100 stories? What is it to trick, to be decieved, to 'succeed' at trickery, etc.?).

7.4 The wife tricks the husband that she threw herself down the well. How does this outcome of the ending come off as? I feel of all the men in these stories are very dumb. They let all the ladies play with their heads. I don't know if it was like this back then. I felt that people would be more secure about what they did.
ReplyDelete8.8 Spinelloccio was tricked into going into the chest. What do you think about the trickery that occured in the story? I felt that in most of these stories the men are always tricked or clueless about what the women are doing to them. They all come off to me as being whipped by the woman. This has been showed in many of these stories.
