Paper Summary:
The paper offers a character analysis of the characters in Giovanni Boccaccio's "The Decameron" and in Dante's "Inferno." The paper examines the character of Griselda in "The Decameron" as an upholder of social values, her nobility of heart and spirit and also discusses the cruel tests her husband puts her through to "prove" her love. The paper examines Dante's Satan as a symbolic creature who epitomizes Dante's concept of the ultimate evil.From the Paper:
"The concept of the patient Griselda is a common place of discussion about "The Decameron." The manifest content of the story of Griselda and her husband Gualtieri is that the nobleman decides one day that he wants to put his peasant wife to the trial of proving her love for him and then manufactures a series of cruelties designed to have her reject him. First he verbally abuses her."More papers on "The Decameron" and The "Inferno":
