Magical elements aside, is Boccaccio’s story believable, or is it too far-fetche
Magical elements aside, is Boccaccio’s story believable, or is it too far-fetched to be believed? Perhaps the relationship between magic and reality creates a wall between reality and credibility? Discuss whether the “real stuff” mentioned in the stories (the Crusades, a man’s role, a woman’s role, societal expectations, or perhaps magic vs reality/spirituality) helps make the stories (or a specific story/narrator/character – pick one) believable? Make sure you use an example for support.
**************************************************
The reading for this week’s module is some of my favorite. The Decameron is quite entertaining. I had a student inquire about my prompt for the reading response, so I thought I would include some additional instruction/clarification here:
What I really want to know is your opinion on Boccaccio’s use of magic within his stories. Does he lose credibility by including magical/supernatural elements? Are his didactic moments lost because he includes magic here and there?
I hope you enjoyed the reading.
– 250 words maximum. I’m not a word counter, but try to stay close to this count while answering the prompt.
– NO QUOTING from any other source.
– Limited quoting from the literature. Keep literature quotes to less than three lines and cite quotations. (A line of poetry is a line of text.) Check the Course Materials section for a refresher on HOW to quote poetry.
– MLA format in a Word document.
