What images or descriptions most struck you in boccaccio’s account of the black death in florence? what does bocaccio's account tell us about human nature when it is confronted with such an epidemic?

Giovanni Boccaccio is visceral on his description of the Black Death, and the suffering of millions of people. He describes the wounds, the agony, and the slow death with the strength which makes you almost feel what those people are struggling with. One of his most famous descriptions is when he tells us what is the Black Death and what the disease causes on the body. His descriptions of the bumps, and what comes out from them is disgusting and anguish. Another aspect of his vision about the Black Death is the people's reaction. They should blame someone because of that. Their fear and suffering lead them to persecute the Jews, and this behavior shows us how human nature is destructive to confront what is not comprehensible.

thomas hobbes and john locke said that we are selfish, individualistic, and constantly at war with each other, therefore we need to be controlled. 

government is defined as the legitimate use of force to control human behavior within territorial boundaries, here comes in hobbes and locke.

hobbes takes the part about controlling human behavior. while locke takes the part of legitimate use of force, since force is not legitimate unless there is consent of the people. 

there are basically 3 goals of the government: 1) maintain order by protecting life and property. 2) providing public goods, those which are typically not provided by the public sector, such as roads and education. 3) promote equality be it political, opportunist or outcome equality.
