Abstract

Giovanni Boccaccio’s Rhymes can be analyzed by establishing certain thematic nuclei that allow a study of this work from both the macrotextual and the micro-textual approaches. Based on this assumption, this article will examine the procedures used by this writer for the narration of what we have defined as a micro-text of the «poetics of disaffection», to be considered as an effect opposed to that produced by the plenitudo amoris. Thus, the emotional category of the Tristitia and the poetic series included in the semantic fields of pain, weeping and the hyperbolic desire of death are analyzed, with the aim of describing such processes and the poet’s interpretation of the same.
