The possession of the female body, considered as part of the family property in a social context governed by a commercial rationale, is an instrument of the violence characterising all social relations, which Boccaccio indicates as a cause for the wrath of God that exploded in the plague of 1348. Moreover, their bodies also become an instrument in the hands of the women themselves when they decide - with all the ambiguity which the context imposed (even on the author) - to repossess the same to use it as a weapon of revenge, an occasion of joy or a gift of love.Studi e saggiLiterary Criticism / EuropeanbisacshLiteratureHistory and criticismLiterary Criticism / EuropeanLiteratureHistory and criticism.Totaro Luigi5805ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910765754303321Ragioni d'amore990136UNINA
