Marguerite de Navarre’s tale of
the Spanish widow is typical of a northern tale because it lays emphasis on Pessimism
and Doubt about religious institution like churches. The significance of
religious institution is far more widely held in southern states, whereas the northerners
are far more predisposed to the teaching from the enlightenment period. From
this, we can safely conclude that the tale has northern characteristics.
