Boccaccio's Depiction of The Plague vs. Today's Treatment of AIDS Victims
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page comparison between the social problem described in the opening of Boccaccio's 'Decameron' and the present-day AIDS dilemma. The writer describes how individuals affected with the Black Plague were treated very much like contemporary AIDS victims in terms of their alienation from society. AIDS is also regarded as being a somewhat different epidemic as it mostly affects only certain high-risk groups whereas the Plague could strike anyone, anywhere, at any time -- and no one knew why. No Bibliography.
