Decameron Part 2

3.  The seventh story was one of the more interesting one.  This story shows us how a very good looking girl has immense power over men, whether people like to believe it or not.  She is able to be very flirtatious and uses her sexuality to gain what she wants, and it worked out very well. She is able to make men her slaves basically, she even gets brothers to fight for her, and one of the brothers kills the other.  It just goes to show how much woman have power over men.

2.  This story says a decent amount about humanity.  First off it shows how a mother who losses everyone she loves, decides it would be easiest to live in a cave and with deer.  It seems that she just needs to be around a "family", and also that she seems to need a male figure to help her out.  However it also shows how much a mother would do for her son, seeing as she will help him escape jail, no matter what.
