the position of young women - Boccaccio's Cleopatra

  • Cleopatra - as she was seen and described by Boccaccio

    (interpretation of Boccaccio's text - by Lilli, class 11)

    In Boccaccio's point of view, Cleopatra had too many vitia and too few virtutes.

    Her character didn't seem to fit to the opinion of a male Christian writer.
