At first when I read this i thought for certain she wanted Rinaldo, and was not affected by his cunning ways. I also figured she liked Rinaldo she does say he is good looking, but i find it hard to believe that a mother would sleep with her sons godfather. However after i saw how easily her husband was tricked i had to second guess myself because maybe she was just as gullible as him.
7.4 This story involves a lot of trickery to the Tofano, why do you think that in a lot of these stories the innocent people are the ones who have a down fall?
A lot of the stories will have the innocent person be tricked into the wrong. In this one Tofano was just trying to live his life, and when he was suspicious about his wife's behavior he wanted to catch her for it. Yet at the end of the story he gets locked out of his castle and he ends up allowing his wife to cheat on him as long as she does it discretely. This is a common theme in a lot of the books and i think it is very wrong how they allow the "good guys" to be the ones who get screwed over.
