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.
