Essay / Research Paper Abstract
7 pages in length. Comparing and contrasting the manner by which women are treated and portrayed within the cinematic approach of Pier Paolo Pasolini's The Decameron is to first understand the original motivation of writer Giovanni Boccaccio, secondly liken this work to others – such as Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales – that reflect a similarity in gender treatment and thirdly realize to what extent Pasolini was attempting to remain true to form. Clearly, Boccaccio's treatment and portrayal of women in his fourteenth century composition of The Decameron was meant to ruffle stiff social feathers by depicting the female gender as having their own minds, thoughts and actions apart from their patriarchal counterparts. One can readily see that while Pasolini does remain mostly on course with Boccaccio's original objective, he also interjects his own brand of lighthearted comedy, as well. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
