"Griselda, the time has come for you to reap the reward of your unfailing patience, and for those who considered me a cruel and

bestial tyrant, to know that whatever I have done was done of set purpose, for I wished to show you how to be a wife, to teach these people how to choose and keep a wife, and to guarantee my own peace and quiet as long as we were living under the same roof."

<u>The statements that describe Gualtieri's attitude are:</u>

- He is rather self-righteous.

He gives the credit for this wife's reward all to himself. He considers being the one who taught his wife to be a good wife. He is just highlighting his strengths without paying attention to his wife's efforts.

- He considers himself to be a role model for others.

He thinks that this job as a husband is something to be proud of. The thinks all his actions were right, that people should follow his path and be exactly the same with their wives. He considers himself as an example of a good husband.

The correct answers are: “He is rather self-righteous” and “He considers himself to be a role model to others”. Taken from the “<em>The Tenth Story</em>” within the book “<em>The Decameron</em>” by Giovanni Boccaccio (1353), the speech presented in the excerpt above narrates the moment when Gualtieri explains the purpose of his tormenting Griselda all the previous years. Gualtieri reveals that he did all that in order to show her “<em>how to be a wife</em>” and to teach people “<em>how to choose a keep a wife</em>”, since <u>he considered himself to be </u><u>a role model</u>. The speech also describes Gualtieri’s personality, since he was too proud of his own moral behaviour and beliefs, in a way that annoyed other people. In fact, it is mentioned in the excerpt above that people despised his behaviour (“<em>and for those who considered me a cruel and bestial tyrant</em>”). This is why <u>one could describe him as </u><u>a self-righteous person</u>.

Sholpan [36]
To summarize it, the war is hurting the global economy. everyone is being effected by it. noticed the gas prices going up? ukraine is one of the largest gas transmission systems in the world and with russia invading and less gas being transported, it will become more expensive due to the fact that there’s less and a lot of people need gas. prices are going to keep increasing and increasing. i’m also sure there’s problems in poland since they are providing a lot of ukrainian refugees with shelter, but the economy is what is being effected globally.

How does the stranger’s interaction with Elisa at her garden differ from Henry’s interaction with her at her garden?
Serjik [45]
A long exposition differs from a typical stage direction because a stage direction is usually brief. An exposition, however, goes into more detail. A stage direction also just usually tells the setting or where or what the character is doing, or how the stage looks. An exposition shows history and goes full out on the setting.
