he outsmarted everyone else

Act V: Scene 4(pg. 56)
“‘Since you’re cunning, my husband’s stupidity, my mother’s foolishness, and the wickedness of my confessor have led me to do what I would never have done of myself, I’m ready to believe it was heaven’s will that it should all happen this way, and I don’t have it in me to reject what heaven wants me to accept.

-In this quote, Machiavelli shows how Callimaco interprets that Lucretia has fallen for him. It also brings about God being a strong figure back in the 1500s. Lucretia citing to heaven’s will is an indication of her honoring God by following his ways. It’s basically an internal battle between her morals and what God thinks is right. Lucretia wouldn’t normally involve herself in cheating on her husband, but it’s what God had intended. This, as result, has Lucretia fooling her husband and pursuing Callimaco in hopes of conceiving a child.

“Listen to her, the way she answers. she looks like a rooster.”    In this quote, you can see the difference of Lucrezia’s personality. In the beginning of the play, she is the only one seemingly virtuous . But now, she becomes a totally different person. This is one of the result of the fraud.

Conflict: The fact that all of the deceptions lead to a happy ending. if this is saying that the fraud is acceptable when it attains a positive ending?
