- Description
- The feminist film criticism theory of the "male gaze" articulates the "triangulated" male-female relationship of KnT and MilT as they arise in response to Boccaccio's elucidation of the gaze in his "Teseida" and in relation to two classical "archetypes of the inscribed female": Aphrodite, signifying "male mastery," and Artemis, representing masculine "disempowerment."
