We have spoken in class about giving into desires no matter the sins and the negative results that could come about. When Masetto played, "mute" or deaf, he was, in a sense held captive by numerous nuns to have sex with them. This is very sinful because they are nuns and promised their virginity to God, but they are also sharing the same man. Also, they were in a sense taking advantage of him despite is actual knowing of what was going on. The nuns and the abyss shared Masetto for enough time to reproduce and have little monks and nuns. They made themselves feel better by saying they didn't sin because they helped Masetto gain is speaking and hearing back by having sex with him. However this is false, he could hear the entire time. They're reasons for validating their sins is sinful within itself because it's a lie.
"The less hope of sucsess, he enjoyed, the more his love increased"
Nastagio fell deeply in love by Ravenna, whom was wicked and cruel to him. She hated everything about him and everything he liked. However he was blinded by love and felt very passionate for her. His family tried to assure him that she was cruel to him and should not stay with her. He was to blinded, and didn't listen. He saw his old aquantance one day in the woods with a women suffering and screaming from his cruel actions. The aquantance had told him that this women treated him horribly and that the divine force, God, sentenced him to brutelly stab the women in the breast, rip open her back and feed her flesh to the dogs. She would then rise up like nothing happend and would run away for the knight to follow her and kill her again. They are forced to this for the amount of time that she was cruel to him. Nastagio sets up a dinner party in the woods were he had seen her brutelly get killed. Relatives of the women and the knight were there to witness it. They were filled with terror and fear. Especailly Ravenna. Ravenna and Nastagio eventually lived happily ever after because their love was re-estabilished. They married.
