[SOLVED] Representative of Boccaccio
Second Day, Seventh Story: Told by Panfilo, who many commentators see as a representative of Boccaccio. Summarize the story in a paragraph. In another paragraph, analyze the narrative function of Alatiel. How does Boccaccios portrayal of Alatiel reflect medieval views of female sexuality? (You will want to go to The Decameron Web, click on Society, and then Sexual Desire to learn about medieval views of female sexuality). How does Boccaccio use the story of Alatiel to expose the lies of a patriarchal medieval society? You might also want to make a thematic connections with the First Story of the First Day. https://www.brown.edu/Departments/Italian_Studies/dweb/society/sex/sexual-desire.php https://www.limpidsoft.com/a5/decameron.pdf
