Question

Which detail from "Tenth Day: Tenth Story" in The Decameron best demonstrates Griselda's stoically patient attitude?

She begs her husband's servant to kill her daughter mercifully.
She admits that her "lowly condition" is "at odds" with her husband's nobility.
She blames "the cruel assault of hostile fortune" rather than her husband for her troubles.
She feels despair when her husband announces his plan to divorce her.

Answer 1

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Griselda's tale shares similarities with the biblical trials of Job. Gualtieri wishes to test the obedience of his wife, and sets about devising and putting Griselda through as many tests and torments to see if her obedience to him will falter. It never does, despite the hardships he puts her through. Even when his own vassals begin to question him, Griselda maintains her loyalty and kindness.

She passes all the tests of her husband and prove to be a obedient wife.She never curses her husband for anything. She accepts all the things going on with her. Despite all these she curses her fortune and not her husband.
