• Resumen

  • This article analyses Novella V, 7 of the Decameron, which recounts the love story between Teodoro and Violante. The text displays numerous intertextual references, dialoguing with some classical models and other novellas in the collection. Moreover, it focuses on some ethical principles that were dear to Boccaccio; he brings into play an intransigent father, Amerigo, and the two lovers to affirm the invincible nature of love and to condemn the injustices produced by excessively rigid family ties. Lastly, the author accords the female protagonist a key role in the novella, and though Violante is by no means a heroine, she is nevertheless an incisive and memorable character.
