The Celestine

1. Celestina's actions are kind of weird because it comes of that she is hitting on Areusa. She is talking about how nice her breast are and how nice she looks. She is looking at her naked. She is probably bi-sexual because she is getting a little into looking at Areusa naked. She is showing a different side to her.
3. Melibea experiences that she finally has fallen in love after she is healed. I felt when I heard "breast full of serpents" that she had a sexual disease or something because of the name of it. Everything changes after Celestina heals Melibea.

The Celestine

3.Melibea's reaction to Calisto's name strengthen my initial reaction because Melibea really can't stand Calisto. She wants nothing to do with him. I feel it is very funny how pissed off she gets when she even hears then name. She would probably kill him that's how much she can't stand him.
5. Calisto is blinded by "love/desire" It has to say that love can distract people from anything. Love can either make your life or ruin it. It is shown in history, current events and novels. People have such a desire for something that they must have it and will even do crazy things just to get a taste of it.

The Celestine

1. The Garden represents the opening scene. The garden can be considered as a chill spot. Calisto feels that Malibea would think it was romantic for him to say his confession to her in the garden.I thought it was kind of funny of Malibea's reaction. I feel since he said she is his reward she might take that like she is the best and superior over everyone else maybe. Calisto is pretty sincere in whst he says.
2. Calisto illness came because he was put under a spell. Calisto falls deeply in love with Malibea. She hates him and this makes him feel sick/ill. He feels that he deserves her. He probably comes off as a creep to her.

The Decameron

9.2 The nun's actions reflect up the church/ religion itself making it look bad because I start to think that nuns might actually do this in real life which is considered a sin. It would be hypercritical if they really were having affairs with men if there suppose to be celibate.
9.3 Calandrio friends are guilty because they trick him into something really stupid and he believes it. He obviously is not the brightest person. It reminded me of the movie Jr. with Arnold Schwartzinator when he has a baby being a male. The apperance shows how dumb some people can be.
9.6 The wife in the story is very intelligent realizing about everything that is going on when the one guy says he slept with the daughter. She covers everything up and pretty much her perception is that stuff happens. She can't go back in time and fix it so she has to live with it. Everybody was supposedly dreaming so nobody will find out what really happened.

The Decameron

7.4 The wife tricks the husband that she threw herself down the well. How does this outcome of the ending come off as? I feel of all the men in these stories are very dumb. They let all the ladies play with their heads. I don't know if it was like this back then. I felt that people would be more secure about what they did.
8.8 Spinelloccio was tricked into going into the chest. What do you think about the trickery that occured in the story? I felt that in most of these stories the men are always tricked or clueless about what the women are doing to them. They all come off to me as being whipped by the woman. This has been showed in many of these stories.

The Decameron

5.10 What do you think about the outcome of the story? The ending was very weird how it ended because the woman ended up satisfying everybody instead of getting hung or anything from her husband which relates to story 6.7. The ladies in these two stories both cheated on their lovers and got away with the sins they did.
6.7 What do you think about Madonnna Filippa actions in the story? Madonna was very smart about how she handled the situation and got out of the trouble she was suppose to get in. She resemble Yseut in the movie when Yseut told the King Mark about how she knew Tristan before she came to the land and married King Mark and she got out of the trouble also.

1. The maiden communicates with the man she desires by giving him signs by telling the friar that he pretty much stalks her but the man knows really that she has a thing for him and makes his moves to her. The friar comes off as a nice guy who is just doing his job but the maiden makes him look clueless of what is happening because she is feeding him lies. In the context she tells him that the man came by her house climbed the tree and tried to go through the window when her husband went away.
2. Ricaciardo plays with Catella's emotions by feeding her a bunch of lies about her lover. He comes off to me as a pervert. He pretty much raped her even though she thought she was making love to her husband but it was really Ricaciardo.
4. Love gone wrong can relate to Tristan and Yseut it wasn't suppose to happen but they feel in love with each other and ruin the kingdom and this story people were betrayed and it ruin love with the three lovers.

The Decameron

1. In all of these stories repetition has occurred because if something happens it always some how leads back to the beginning. The guy was tricked into believing that some lady was his sister and she ended up stealing his money but later on he takes a ring that was the same amount as the money that was stolen from him which ends up back to the beginning of having the same amount of money. A wider audience will catch on to his writing style that what happens in the beginning of the story always ends up making sense or gives a reason for it happening in the end.
3. The story has to say about femininity that some woman do anything to get what they want and be flirty and use their looks to get things. All the men in the story has so much lust for her because of how beautiful she was. Men were killing their own relatives and best friends for their desire of just having her. She is like their pet dog. In the text one of the men killed his own brother for her.

The Decameron

Story 1.1 "On the other hand, he has been such a wicked man that he does not wish to confess himself or to receive any of the church's sacarements; and if he dies without confession, no church will wish to receive his body, and he will be thrown into a ditch like a dead dog." This quote interested me because later on in the story he confessed his sins and later became a saint because of the priests who he confessed to talked about how good of a man he was which was ironic to what the brothers were saying about him. The quote says about the theme that irony is very relevant to the brothers of what they have to say about their brother who is dieing.

movie questions

1. In the text the story started with the land being ruined because of a dragon which Tristan said he would go out and defeat so the land would become good again. The film begins like that most likely because they want to interest you and not bore you at the beginning. It makes you always wanting to expect more fights and be on top of your toes waiting for it.
2. The film not having the potion does change our interpretation of the film because in the story that's one of the reasons of how Tristan and Yseut fell in love because of it but in the film Tristan and her fall in love when she is taking care of him.
3. The film portrays Tristan as a warrior who is in love, Yseut as the one who's tagging Tristan on with their love and King Mark as the clueless person. King Mark is seen as the poor man who gets betrayed by everybody.
4. Yseut is shown in the film as the sneaky, betrayal lieing person who sort of peer pressures Tristan.
5. The barons are pretty much the same as in the text because they are both jealous and annoying people because they are like the people in life who you hang out with and say something about somebody and they run back to the person and tell the person that you were saying things.
6. The film ends that way because they had to cut events out from the text because they didn't want to keep dragging the movie out because it would have been way too long.
7. The focus of the film is on the love of Tristan and Yseut. The love is seen as the theme of the movie. It relates to the time period so they want to show it would be.
