In the past section of reading for the Decameron, I noticed that when someone was getting caught doing something wrong, or typically "caught in the act", the person doing the catching remained silent.  This person would sometimes be infused with rage, but always decided to prolong retribution or action.  They decided to plot out their next course of action instead of doing something in the heat of the moment.  Normally a high energy confrontation would occur at 'the catching' but it didn't in these stories.  Well, at least I would expect an immediate confrontation, so that's why this all seemed interesting to me.
