The Decameron Day 2


The fifth day eighth story is an interesting story with Nastiago Degli Onesti falls in love with a girl and then he wants her to meet his relatives but then he sees a knight hunting down a young lady and then devoured by dogs, the girl that Nastiago is in love with sees the young lady who is devoured and asks Nastiago to marry her because she doesnt want to suffer the same fate as the young lady who was devoured by the dogs. This them of love and fear show that the Nastiago loves this girl but to get her to fall in love with him invites her over with her relatives but then she's sees this devoured young girl who is killed and she thinks that his family does this to all the young lades that Nastiago falls in love with and shows to his family and if they don't like her then she will suffer the same fate as the young devoured lady. This is very interesting how fear and love can be mixed in as the same theme

The with day first story is a very weird and interesting story it is about Masetto da Lamporcheccio is a deaf-mute who becomes a gardeners for a covent of nuns who all compete to lie with him. This is a very strange an erotic story that the nuns who are of catholic/christian faith when becoming a nun must not have sex because it is against the religion and this is weird because none of these nuns follow the religion and it shows the hypocriticalness and how none of these nuns follow the religion. Even to make the situation worse the guy is a deaf-mute and he can be more easily taken advantage of which is really bad and makes it 10 times worse if the nuns try to lay with him but he is pretending but the nuns do not know that when they try to lay with him.
