ACTIVITY
I want you to look at the pictures that
Im going to present here.
 What do you observe in the movies
featured above?

Are these scenarios happening

nowadays?

Also, during the 14th century, the

human race, specifically, the
Europeans were alarmed with an
epidemic,: the Bubonic Plague. Are you

carrying fleas infected with the Black
Plague to Europe between 1346 and Yes. Though it is not as terrifying as these
1347. movies, many diseases also spread in
different parts of the world which caused
rampage.

ANALYSIS
I told you to read the story Federigos
Falcon in advance. Did you know that
its author, Giovanni Boccaccio ,
survived the Black Death in 1348?
Meet the Author
Giovanni Boccaccio (1313 1375 is one
of the three greatest and best known poets
of the Italian fourteenth century along with
other two known poets. Can you guess the
other two?
We encountered them on our previous
literature topics.
The second one is the author of Divina
Commedia.
It is a deadly bacterial disease of the
lymphatic system, often marked by
buboes, which are visibly swollen lymph
nodes. Because buboes and other parts of
the body often take on a dark cast, the
plague came to be called the Black Plague
or Black Death. Bubonic plague is typically
spread through the bite of infected fleas,
which are common parasites on rodents. It
caused an estimated 25 million death
cases in 1351. (Answers may vary and
details might be given by parts.)

The last one is attributed to a type of

sonnet.
 He grew up in Florence, Italy and
began writing poetry when he was a
child.His dream of being a poet wasnt

an easy game for his father frowned

upon his literary leanings and learn
business.
Dante Alighieri
Federigos Falcon is just one of the
stories in the Decameron. Decameron
is a collection of 100 novellas by Italian Francesco Petrarch
author Giovanni Boccaccio, probably
begun in 1350 and finished in 1353. It
begins with a description of the
Bubonic Plague (specifically the
epidemic that hit Florence, Italy in
1348). Then it leads into an introduction
of 7 young women and 3 young men
who flee plague-ridden Florence to a
villa in the countryside for two weeks.
The storytelling of the ten main
characters last for 10 days but they
stayed in the countryside for 2 weeks
or 12 days ? How come would that be?

The title is a portmanteau of two

Greek words meaning "ten" (
dka) and "day" ( hmra).
Federigos Falcon is the ninth story of
the fifth day journey.

(The student reads the introduction of The

Decameron.)
Lets recall the events and enumerate To pass the time, each character tells one

Discussion Extension
As mentioned earlier on our discussion,
Boccaccio is one of the greatest Italian
Federigo is a fine, rich man from Italy who
fell in love with a lady name Monna
Giovanna. In order to win her love, he
spent his wealth until he turned into a poor
man left only with his small farm and a
falcon. But Monna Giovanna still rejected
his love.
Monna Giovanna married other man and
bore a child. After his husband died of an
illness, her child went the same way and
- asked her for Federigos Falcon in order to
get well.
Monna went to Federigo to ask for the
falcon. In surprise of her visit, Federigo
decided to cook the fine falcon for her as a
form of respect to her without knowing that
it is the only motive of Monna Giovanna
upon her visit.
To his mothers extreme sorrow, whether in
disappointment in not having the falcon or
because his illness inevitably led to it, the
boy passed from this lie only a few days
later.
poets along with Dante and Petrarch.
Their writings have similarities also.
If you can recall, there are women
behind these poets who inspired them
with their writings. Who can enumerate
these women on our poets lives?

Dante and Boccaccio both employed

allegory on their works. What is an
allegory?

With her brothers urge to remarry, Monna

Giovanna decided to take Federigo as her
husband in account of the mans ultimate
generosity and they live happily the rest o
The Decameron also used Frame Tale or their lives.
Frame Story the same with other pieces
like Geoffrey Chaucers Canterbury Tales
and Arabian Nights. What is a frame tale
or frame story?

Dante Beatrice, Petrarch Laura and

Boccaccio Fiametta

Allegory is a figure of speech in which

APPLICATION
(Differentiated Group Activities)
Directions: Form five groups. Each
group will be given a task as follows.
abstract ideas and principles are
described in terms of characters, figures
and events.

STATION 1
Falcon Fellow
Applying the intertextual approach as
well, think of other examples from Frame story is a story set within a story,
world literature or movies featuring the narrative or movie told by the main or the
same motives (unrequited love, supporting character.
misspent youth, tragic irony or happy
ending) with that of Federigos Falcon.

STATION 2
Wedding Gift
Think of the wedding gift for Federigo
to Monna Giovanna or from Monna to
Federigo. Then create the gift itself, or
make a model/ illustration/drawing of
it. Keep in mind the givers personality
 and financial status.

STATION 3
Past Vs. Present
Collaborate with the group and show
the difference on how men woo their
ladies and how ladies are expected to
respond during the Middle Ages and
the Italian Renaissance versus this
modern time. Prepare to perform it
before the class.

STATION 4
What An Irony!
Think of a situation the same with that
of Federigos Falcon where Monna
Giovanna ate the falcon she is
supposed to ask for. Prepare to
perform it before the class.

STATION 5

In the twelfth century, rules governing

the game of love were actually set
down by a court of love in France. Four
of the rules are listed below. Do you
agree or disagree with these rules?
Have the rules of love changed?
Explain each one BRIEFLY.

No one can be bound by a double

love.
The easy attainment of love makes
it of little value; difficulty of
attainment makes it prized.
A new love puts to flight an old one.

If love diminishes, it quickly fails

and rarely revives.

In Todays Decade

Compare Federigos love to modern

day men or women in love. What are
the similarities and differences?

Valuing
There are values interpreted in the
story. Who can give one?
 In relation to our lesson theme which is
Empathizing with Others as well as
bias and prejudice, Who could explain
this line said by Monna Giovanna in the
story :

I would much rather have a man

without money than money without
man.
Exactly! "It is pretty hard to tell what
does bring happiness; poverty and
wealth have both failed." - Kin Hubbard
"What difference does it make how
much you have? What you do not have
amounts to much more." Seneca
In terms of similarities, a person will do
everything to attain his/her love but to
differentiate, during Federigos time, the
devotion wasnt an ordinary one and there
is still a great piece of respect instilled
unlike the lovers of todays generation.

These quotations all conform with the It has much to suggest about the nature of
idea of quality over quantity. Always giving and sacrifice, loss and guilt, fate and
remember that, even though money is redemption, and above all else, love.
indeed a necessity, we should still keep
in mind that character will always
matter.
