Griselda's character in the story is a simple-minded but strong female. She was introduced as an unknown and poor person that Gualtieri is planning to marry. In the first few tests, she was tested on her loyalty for her husband that made her win the heart fully of Gualtieri. As the first lady of the village, the people were surprised by how charismatic nature and kindness she has. She had earned the respect of the people so much and they loved her as well. But during, the ignorant and foolish tests of the her husband, this led to test her own mental state of heartbreaks because of her children and was put to shame by her husband. Needless to say, she kept a strong stance in herself but at the same time was naive in following her husband's foolishness. All the more, Gualtieri did not deserve this wondrous woman.
