Decameron day 6

9.2 answer - The nuns reflect the church being corrupt and succumbing to sins that people who aren't in high positions in the church. Men and women who are even nuns and priests feel the emotions of lust and jealousy and greed. People are people they are just expected to carry out more responsibility than others.

9.3) I feel Calandrino's friends are guilty because a person should be able to do with their money whatever they want. If Calandrino wants to buy land then he should be able to. Its also bad enough they convinced a doctor, a professional, to go along with the plan. the way Calandrino was talking to and about his wife was a little scary. He openly commented on killing her but everyone just laughed it off like it was he reward of playing such a good prank. hitting women i guess is acceptable in some ways to these people as we see abuse of women in past stories.
