It's a blog where I'll give tasks to students working on the Comenius project "European cultural and religious diversity: open doors to inclusion and transnational friendship"

ReplyDeleteThis film is very, very nice to me, I've seen it three times. I think that it teaches the life in Venice in the XVI century very well, the inquisition, the marriage in this time, the women and more things.
The vision of women was very undervalued. It was thought that marriage was a contract and people couldn’t love each other. In a society where people were valued for their wealth and power women were treated as inferiors. Nobler they were the less they could approach culture. Only courtesans could read and were allowed to visit libraries and talk about economics and politics.
The role of Inquisition in this film shows how dangerous could be culture in women hands and that way the church tried to get rid of them. One way was accusing them of witchcraft.
My opinion is that it was unfair, but the film reflects very well these things. I’ve loved the film.

ReplyDeleteThe role of women at that time was undervalued. They were thought to be a t home, have children and take care of them and of the house. They couldn’t learn to read or write and had to marry someone chosen by her parents.
As the only women that could reach culture were courtesans, church was afraid of their possible power and for this reason they wanted to discredit them. A way to do it was accusing them of witchcraft and burning them on a fire.
The film shows very well all these aspects of the Venice of the XVI century.
