Status Updates From The Decameron

The wife of a doctor assumes that a lover of hers is dead and puts him in a chest, which two usurers carry off to their house with the man still inside. When he comes to, he is arrested as a thief, but the lady's maid tells the Signoria that she was the one who stuck him in the chest, thus enabling the lover to escape the gallows, while the moneylenders are condemned to pay a fine for having taken the chest.

Done with Day 2. In spite of Boccaccio's awareness that both men and women enjoy sex, and allowing some happy endings for promiscuous women, it's an exception to the norm of constant maddening "as we all know" sexism. Boccaccio is increasingly grating on me, and knowing he wrote a misogynist screed (Corbaccio) after this doesn't help pin it as just being in character. Maybe the Day 2 theme just lent itself to these.
