This paper discusses Giovanni Boccacio's "The Decameron," and the role that women are betrayed. Women as persons have never been adequately deciphered because they have never merited that interest to be deciphered as persons. If the inequality between men and women still endures today, how much more was it the situation in the distant past. The ruthlessness of Boccacio's characters in treating women, the straitlaced manner of having them behave in courts, the severity with which women were expected to behave in public and in personal life and their passage from one rule to another all tell us that women have not been considered equal to men, although they have shaped the world together and designed by destiny to be equal in all things and in all ways.
