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.
