TOPIC
“The Story of Nastagio degli Onesti,” from The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio, is meant to be an amusing tale. But as modern people, we can recognize that it conveys a more serious message. The story shows that for young women – and certainly for young men, too – marriages were arranged contracts between families; the preferences of the young people really didn’t matter, even though the story talks about unrequited love. In fact, under the amusing surface of the story, there is a message which discourages young women from being too choosy or difficult about an arranged marriage: “do what is best for the family and society, not what your heart desires; don’t be selfish!” Think about this. Is this really a recipe for a happy marriage?
Conversely, “Giletta and Her Reluctant Husband, Beltram,” also from The Decameron, seems to flip the expectations that Renaissance society has about the role of women as a basically passive one. How does Giletta assert herself and her own will in the story? What things allow her to do so? How does Giletta differ from the “Traversari girl” who Nastagio loves? How does Giletta differ from the girl who Beltram loves? We might applaud Giletta for empowering herself to live her life as she chooses – but is her “recipe” for marriage any better than Nastagio’s? Are tricks and manipulation the best way to begin married life? What about the feelings of the Traversari girl and Beltram about their marriages? Don’t they matter? Why is all of this important?
Compare and contrast how the stories portray the roles of young men and women in love and marriage. Refer to details and one good example for each of the stories, which you will explain and analyze. Explain why all of this is important.
