Griselda is a weak woman it is because she follows everything what his husband ask her. It is because she thinks that she is of low profile individual, she cant do anything against her husband's will. Even if her children were about to be killed, she don't still have a violent reactions and its not a normal reaction of a loving mother. Griselda still love her husband.

Griselda for me wasn't weak, for me she has a strong character because of her patience. And she is very devoted to her husband that;s why whatever her husband says she still follow and accept the consequences. thst's why for me she's a strong person.

Griselda is a weak woman because she let her husband fool her.She is a meek and docile woman that every chauvinist seek.She can't do anything against her husband.She let him rule over her.She love her husband very much and she really show it with being patient for all her husband did,and for me it is sign of weakness.She doesn't want a fight with her husband and she set aside her pride,the last thing everyone shouldn't give up for nonsense.

No, I always consider her as a strong woman because we know that Griselda was tested by his husband Gualteri among the peasantry and, to test her fidelity, first pretends that their children are dead by his hand and then pretends to remarry out of boredom and cast her aside. Through these and other trials, Griselda maintains her patience and devotion, and finally he relents; Griselda is returned to her home and children, winning everyone’s admiration, so, for me she is indeed a strong woman of her time...

I strongly disagree because as what I have known of her she is a very patient woman. though I consider her a martyr type(well she can really do nothing back in those days) but what I think of her is that she is a very submitted wife to her husband but still I think I like her.... ;-)

Yes, shes been weak and aside from that is martyr. She never even fought . As a woman she never deserves to be abused physically and emotionally. She deserves someone better I bet. I think its not love to Gualtieri anymore but letting herself burned in an her own fire.

Griselda is not a weak woman because if she is, she may not sacrifice her own children and always follow her husband. She is only a martyr and obedient wife. But, In this generation if that the attitude of the girl some boys may take advantage of it.

Griselda for me is certainly not a weak woman,she just have enough trust to her husband,though her husband treats him harshly still she is very devoted to him,I admire her patience and loyalty, and I guess that is the best virtue that every woman should have.
Pride is also an issue here but we should remember that it is better losing it than losing a lifetime relationship/commitment.

No, she is not a weak women.she is just an obedient and devoted wife to her husband.being a women at their time means that you should follow all the things that you husband is telling and asking you even if it is very hard and painful in your part.And she is just only tested by her husband if she would follow his will even if it would cause the death of her two children.....

I think Griselda is not that kind of woman. If we look at that woman today is different to those woman before Griselda is really great of her time. Because woman before are just there to bare a child, always follow of what there husband command. She always have that patience even though her husband try to kill her son and daughter but still she loves her husband.

Though the story of Griselda took place during ancient times in which men are superior against women, I could still consider her a weak character because she was dominated by her husband.She does everything his husband demands without even asking or contradicting his decisions.If it would have been me, I would'nt put my children's lives just to follow his will.

In Griselda's case, its very difficult on how to judge her. I just coudn't take any sides but both. In different points, its yes and no. Maybe at olden times she can be considered but in modern time, she's an idiotic martir.

If i could base it in modern time, she's totaly weak because typical person wouldn't have that kind of reaction in that situations. I don't think its being pure obedience or devotedness, maybe, she knew very well that out of poverty she can do nothing but abide the rules. And maybe what made her stand at all dilemma is her faith to God.

No, i don't consider Griselda as a weak person. it is because if she is weak she cannot survive with all those unpleasant doings that her husband's done. She is a strong woman for she never give up her faith even if he lose her children and experienced the rudeness and cruelty of her husband. She portrays what a true woman, should be-patient and courageous.

Yes, I may say that Griselda is a weak woman. Why? It's because everything that was happening to her is alright. If she is not weak, she must care about her children. She even did not attempt to search for them. She made herself as a servant of her husband. And being a servant of someone shows weakness. For me its rediculus!... She did not fight for her rights as a woman. She is a person. We are all Person and we get hurt sometimes. She did not used her mind, only her heart. Why can't she speak?, Why can't she complain?. Laws is not a barrier. If she is brave. She must willing to die, willing to let go and willing to accept the truth, no matter what her life may be.

Griselda was never been engage as a weak character where in fact I considered her as a brave and a strong charactered person. Because from all those worst experiences and trials from her husband Gualtiri. To test on how Griselda devoted to him and to to their children. She then just follow everything and prove to her husband on how she loved them and how Griselda remains her patience.

Griselda is a weak character in the sense that because of much loved that she showed to her husband she was willing to sacrifice or follow of whats the husband command, wants for good or bad consequence but more on sufferings on part of her that was too abusive on the part of the wife right. She don't disagreed the decisions of her husband she herself have no own decision always following the will of her husband even against her well being.

In my own perception, Griselda wasn't weak rather she is very strong women and being a mother because of all the sacrifices she made just to obey and adore her husband even though she knew that her husband is doing cruel things and already violating the rights of women. That women should be loved and be respected by their husband and not abusing their capacity and limitations as the light of the family. I know women is naturally weak but in other side they are strong and amazing.

I never think od griselda as a weak character because as what she had shown in the story, griselda was obedient, gracious, kind and devoted to her husband and even her patience was tested she never falied to do everthing gaultieri's command.

Also i believe gualtieri was not a weak character but a brave one. even he feels pity to her but he kept testing her patience and when griselda1 prove that she will do everything for him that was the time he revealed everything. Everything was done on porpose. To give griselda and her vassals a lesson that might learn to be a wife and a model to be a women in the land.

no, shes not weak. in the sence of being patience. because its a desirable character of a woman to her husband. maybe she was test her patience in wrong way, and became numb for that but still she proves how strong she is to control her temper that may destriy their marriage. that only implies how women are trully strong emotionally.

For me not totally yes if we would consider the tradition Griselda had at that time.She is weak because of her being martyr maybe sometimes we could not avoid this phenomena,base on my experience i its my first time to have a "BF" and yet i allow him to have another we are two at a time but I'm the first to give up it's hard really.Therefore I would say it depends upon,and I will never let it happen again.

To me being a mother is not an easy task, you're always carrying the responsibilities that should be rendered toward you're siblings. And i believe that there is no mother that do not think for the sake of having her child a good and better life. Gresilda is what we can consider as a strong mother in the story, because she had fight the circumstances that her husband had gave her. Eventhough it's against to her will,but still she did not tresspass the will of her husband because it is what they believe to be the right thing to do, as to listen to what a man says and thus a woman should do according to their law.

No.. Griselda is not a weak character.. He only truly loves his husband..I consider it normal to her for allowing her children killed by what his husband says because there tradition before in there time it is natural to them even it hurts but they use to allow it..Only I consider his husband a weak character because he doesn't trust his wife and he make a process of things to test Griselda..Therefore Griselda is not a weak person/character..

Partly yes, in the sense that Griselda did not break down in the things that happen in her life, but in the other hand she did not really fight for her right and just obeyed in everything that Gualtiere want him to do.

Griselda was never weak at all. it take's a BRAVE woman to handle a mother's pain (death of children). She never did once lost her control of herself, other woman end up being fools because of the death of their child, but Griselda? no one can ask for a much more braver woman in this world than her, she even has that calmness to listen to her husband despite of the things that happened.

Yes,because Griselda is a submissive woman. Shes really willing to give even it is the life of hert first daugther which she knows the intention of her husband is not good. But she said " my lord, do with me what you think best, for well I know that I am of less account than they and unworthy of this honorable estate to which you have advance me". next was her first son also tookby her husband and the last when her husband told that hes going to take another one that fits to him. Still Griselda bear it all and keep herself humble in the eyes of her husband.Through her weakness she show that she is a woman that to be paid all honor.

I cannot say that Griselda is a weak character. Because as I observed, she didn’t even complain of what Gualtieri did to her and still lived with Gualtieri. She just followed of what they had agreed before their wedding. If she’s weak, she cannot stay for that long under Gualtieri.

During the time of Griselda equality between men&women are not yet exercise,unlike now. To act what Griselda did as it was stated it is not easy. It requires a lot of strength to overcome those rude act of her husband and to stay calm even though she was hurt so much.

In my own understanding if we based it on their time i could say that she is not weak because shes only following the command , in fact, shes a law abiding citizen, but if we based it in our time nowadays well, of course she is weak, because each mother has a right for her siblings, no one could ever harm them .And no matter what it takes we will fight for them.

For my own opinion, Griselda is a weak character. It is because she done nothing but to follow whatever her husband told her. She can't decide on her own... Maybe the reason is because of her love and respect to her husband Gualtiere. But if she is truly a strong woman and a mother, she will going to fight for her right as a mother to her children and wont' allow anyone even her husband to separate her children from her.

Cardines, J.G.A said...

I could not consider Griselda as weak. Hence, she has the a strong character. She is strong enough to control her feelings. She has a very long patience which i think that women of today doesn't have. She was able to sacrifice for the sake of Gualteri's satisfaction and true happiness. Griselda did anything, she may even sacrifice her happiness and put down her pride. She had a very long patience eventhough it hurts. She endure all the pain and her good heart prevails, and I believe that only strong person could do this as what Griselda did.

Griselda in some part is weak but in some part she is not. There are many things that must consider in order to say that she is a weak and also not. She is weak because she does not posses that feelings of a mother that everybody knows but in some part she is also the type of woman that posses a good character of a real mother.

the story of griselda was my class report,and with my research i could really say that GRISELDA IS NOT WEAK. griselda showed his loyalty, faithfulness and being obedient to whatever his huband(gualtieri) says.. she strongly believes that everything her husband wants her to do is for a good purpose. she is just being so true and honest to what she had promised to his husband before the day of their wedding, and that is to obey him in everything, with out argument or contradiction, not in word, sign,deed or thought.. griselda is indeed a very brave woman,because eventhough she knew what would be her life in the hands of gualtieri,he still chooses to marry him with out any objections.

For me yes, because Griselda character was so obedient and devoted to her husband, even if it is against her well. Griselda is a kind of woman who cannot fight her right. She don't have strength to voice-out what is in her heart, But I can say also that because of this unbelievable character it is the reason to lead her life live long and happily thereafter with her husband and child.

Cabinta,Jessieca M. said...

No! because she done everything just to save her child from death,and she sacrifice her own happiness for the other people.I can cosider her as a strong woman for she is patient enough,and she is ready to face all the trials that may come into her life.

Yes, at some point of her acts of submissiveness to get the approval of the authority and of the society. But, then I ask myself if the word submissive easier said than done. If we look back to Griselda’s story, being submissive to someone undoubtedly deliberate hurt and fools her, is only showing us that submissiveness is indeed a painstaking role to take. I, judging her as a weak character, would likely make me an unfair critic. It would be unfair to her part, neglecting her strength in bracing herself towards the testing of her faith and love to the king. If I would be in her part, I would probably choose the deviant way in fighting the challenges rather than to submit such insensitive king, testing his wife with cruelty. The king is lucky. He is loved by a faithful, honest and forgiving wife.

For me, Griselda is not weak but a strong woman. In the story, her husband gives a cruel tests that puts her through to "prove" her love and verbally abuses here but she is still living to her husband and not even thinking that she will leave her family and children and not even thinking about vengeance. Because of what she did, she is really a strong woman, enduring her patience and wifely obedience nd successfully her husband proves that she really loved her. When Im on the side of her, I cant do that I dont have the the patience I will really decide to separate that man. She is really an upholder of social values, her nobility of her heart.

I can’t consider Griselda as a weak character in the name of love. She just obeyed the rules that her loved one commanded her to do. For in their time, they consider women as their followers and servants. They do not have any power among men except that they have power over money.

Patient, obedient, understanding and devoted--that best describe Griselda. As I read through the story, I found that Gualtieri,his husband,cruel and unjust.. Griselda is not a a weak one since she overcome all the struggles and the pains that the life she had brought to her.. Imagine, having children will be the greatest happiness a mother could have. But remember that Gualtieri took them away. For me, she believes that the pleasure of his husband is also hers.

No, Griselda is not a weak woman. instead she is a faithful and strong woman.
We've all known that Gualtieri made a contract that every time he made a decision, Griselda must agree. because all of Gualtieri decision is for their own good. So that is the reason why Griselda is always accepting her husband decision.
in short Griselda is trusting and faithful to Gualtieri, and strong enough to surpass the consequences of her husband.

Griselda is not a weak woman at all. She's actually very patient that whatever Gualtiere may do to her and to her children, she simply follows to what her husband told her to. She's obedient and she's to what she and her husband agreed before they get married that she must always obey him in all times. Men rule over the women long ago, but in the present, what Griselda done is very impractical and a very out knowledge thing about the rights of a women.

It is a big NO for me . eheh .

She is indeed a good wife with strong personality, humble, caring, loving and most specially a model of patience ..

In some situation she is weak because she did not excercise her right as wife. She honored her husband so much that even she's hurt she is still giving the things asked for by Gualterie.
On the other hand, she is brave to face the consequences of every decision she made in confronting her husband's request.

No, I can't consider Griselda as a weak character in their time because what she did is a bravery. She is brave because being a mother it really hurts to know that your child will be kill but she trust her husband Gualteire. And for me Griselda did is an image of a strong woman because she is fighting with her emotion and the pain she feels inside and its not easy.

It's hard for me to consider Griselda as a weak character since to take patience needs a strong belief that all things can and shall become, like what I've seen to Griselda's character.
There's a line in the story that says "and everyone marveled at how obedient and patient Griselda has been, and how there must be none other like her," so for me, i can't consider Griselda as a weak woman. Also because, I understand Griselda's belief about the bade of King Gualterio. Her belief that what her husband did to her and her family are for the best purpose, for the kingdom and for the people.But I'm highly opposed to King Gualterio's plan, to test Griselda's love to him. Also, because Griselda's patience, obedience, and virtue in the ordeals of her life, for me it shows that a strong character could surmounted the life's difficulties.

Yes she is, because in our times today, many women fought for their right and I cannot see it to Griselda. Why not fight for her right? Why let her husband did it all to her? It sounds disgusting for us women, right? We should not let men do that to us. For Griselda, I can say that she is weak because she let things fall into the hands of her husband and she didn’t even try to oppose about it.

During Griselda's time. The role of every woman is just to rare a child. So, I consider her as a strong character and not weak. Since she showed his husband Gualterie how patient she is and she keeps her words by following what Gualterie wants her to do.

I cannot consider
Gresilda as a weak character besides she is very strong and determined women and wife. She is the model of all women and being a wife. For many tests that she encountered she will not give up ispite she stand firm of what is in the life of marriage. Although her husband tested her she brings that test until her husband proud and honor him. Thats the real Gresilda she are not afraid of facing the hendrace of her life and by those she encountered she will make strong.

For me, Griselda is not consider as a weak character because Griselda wanted to marry Gualtieri and she was so obedient and devoted to her husband that he deemed himself the happpiest and the luckiest man in the world,and there was none of them but loved him more dearly than herself and had not zealous to do him, honor and prayed for him welfare and prosperity. Griselda have a trust her husband Gualtieri because even Gualtieri had not been too long to her side she never give up to love him. Eventhough her children were about to be killed, she don't afraid because she know's that Gualtieri cannot do to his child . Griselda have an excellent qualities that can consider as a good women nowadays.

Griselda is a weak woman it is because she follows everything what her husband ask her. It is because she thinks that she is of low profile individual, she cant do anything against her husband's will. Even if her children were about to be killed, she don't still have a violent reactions and its not a normal reaction of a loving mother. Griselda still love her husband.

Griselda is never a weak woman because she did something that makes her husband loved her for than she expects. And talking about her child, she never favor of what will happen its just that she think whatever she wants to do, she is nothing for Gualteri has the power.

I don’t consider Griselda as weak character as a matter of fact she is a strong one. Even though she just let her husband did all those things to her I can’t still consider her weak for she was able to bear all the pain and sadness. If I were Griselda I think I could no longer bear all those miseries and pain. Griselda is very strong for she was able to suppress her feelings and remained strong. She even did her work as a servant after she was being thrown out of the palace. Griselda is very patient and indeed very strong. No one can ever do the same thing as Griselda did.

I could not consider Griselda as a weak person but instead a strong one. She is just too loyal and devoted to her husband that’s why she follows what Gualtieri wants her to do even sacrificing her children and her happiness as a mother. She, in the other way, is strong because she survive from the ruthless way done by her husband to test her and I’m proud of it but otherwise I could not consider her to be a good model for today’s mother or woman.

Griselda is no weak character.
To sacrifice her children even if it would lead them to their deaths; being deserted by her husband for the reason of her being poor and a nobody to their society; titled worthless and worst, replacing her by marrying a woman whom his husband referred ‘the more appropriate’. These were some of the hurdles Griselda overcome, the hurdles that cannot be coped by any other woman. To the situation weakness shall be seen if Griselda has opposed to every unfavorable conditions she was tasked to do but she has done the opposite. What made her tough were her humbleness; pure kindness; love and faith to her husband.

Fighting does not always mean a person is strong. Crying does not always mean that your weak. So for me Griselda is not weak. Though he never tried to fight for her right but she was doing it only because she loves her family so well. Though she acted as a martyr wife, but it only implies how much she loves her husband.

No. Griselda is a brave woman. We knew that before, women have no right to be heard. Thus, I can say that Griselda is just doing what she ought to do. Shes brave in a sense that she took all the hardships that her husband has brought her and she acknowledged every pronouncement that her husband made.

Yes, I can consider Griselda as weak in her character because she follows everything his husband asks her even if it's becoming out of the line. She accepts his every order without even asking why. Her character is like a stone with no feelings at all to what's going to happen to her or to her children.

Griselda is not weak. Giving away and letting her husband put their chidlren to death doesnt mean she is weak. For me, that doesnt guarantee one's weakness. She is a strong woman. Strong enough to accept her fate. Strong enough to live and continuously love the man who killed her a million times the moment she thought he killed their children. If you were in her shoes, could you take the pain?knowing theres nothing you can do because your husband has the power? :)

I think Griselda is not weak. Going back in the past, women really don’t have the power over men. The patience that she had showed is just a manifestation of her great love towards her husband. Trust is also a manifestation of love, I think Griselda really trusted Gualtiere that he can’t kill their own children. Griselda is indeed a strong woman, a woman who is so true to her love towards her husband.

I can firmly say the Cirselda is not a weak woman, we cannot blame her possessing that personality most especially being in that situation because we cannot deny them mere fact that on their time women does not really have a voice for their family it is just their husband who make's every decision for them and can be followed, that is their culture and belief. What/who is weak their is not Criselda but their practice's during that time.

Yes, I can honestly view Griselda as a weak woman. In behalf of her husband's request, she still follows it without any bothering reaction. If she values her children's lives, she must have been so eager to refuse but she did nothing. Well, I hope women of today are strong enough to fight against situation that can harm an individual especially those very related to them. Honestly speaking, I can't blame Griselda for acting like that because she love her husband and she'll follow every decisions her husband would say.
