Decameron-Day 9

9.2
This is another story of pure blashpemy. First of all, both women in this story are nuns and took a vow of celebacy. They are both committing sins, yet they feel that if no one else finds out about their sins, then they do not matter. This of course is false and it is actually disgraceful. They treat the church and the roles that they play as jokes; how can they possibly lead anyone into salvation or better decision making if they have no self restraint. It shows that religion as a whole is pretty much a game to these women and they don't actually care. It's embarassing to count your self among the religious in this sense. And yes, sin is all relative. The abessy was going to kill her nun, until she was caught. At this point they both simply brushed off the sin and it was no big deal.

The wife is very clever in this tale. She quickly realizes that the entire situation is messed up, that she has commited a fault, and that the only way to get out of the entire situation quickly is to use language and deception. She tricks her husband, gains the man she is sleeping with as a quick ally, and is able to get out of the situation with no one hurt or in trouble. It is her quick reactions, that leads everyone out of trouble. Her human nature is to solve the problems; it is mostly a big misunderstading and she realizes that; she covers it all up. small white lies.
