What are some of the preoccupations of the Heptameron stories, as far as you can tell from your scan of their summaries (47-59)? Identify 3-5 different conventions (i.e. recurring patterns) of subject matter, character, plot, or social class that seem to crop up fairly frequently in the summaries. Make a list.
How do you see one of these preoccupations in story 11 or 12? Answer in a couple sentences, providing evidence from the story/stories, not from their summaries.
