9.2) The nuns seem to all suffer from the same ailment, that being sin. The Abbess and the nun both follow the same sin of the flesh and when they discover each other come to an agreement as to what to do. The Abbess, upon being found out, began as if the sins of the flesh where natural. This, in a way, says to me that the church is corrupt and the legality of the sins is based on the highest power, here because the Abbess would be in trouble as well for the sin of sex it is immediately accepted to have men in your chamber at night.
9.3) I think this story just has a lot of dumb and evil minded people, no one is really entirely at fault her. Calandrino is perfect willing to blaim his wife for everything and the friends show no compassion when openly making fun of him in such a way. The only thing I can really say is that I feel very bad for the wife, she is the victim in both stories and she has her most intimate secrets shown to the world by her own husband. In this we see her role as once again an almost servant like position in that her husband treats her secrets like dog poop and blaims her for his sad state of affairs.
