- Description
- For Walter and Griselda clothing has both "political/social" and "spiritual/personal" meanings which symbolize stages in their relationship. When Walter sees that Griselda remains virtuous beneath the array of fine clothing and social status which he gave her when he married her, he no longer needs to test her.
