{ "I can't relate to [Penelope]...who is soley defined by her blind loyalty that was to the great detriment to herself and her child....Maybe wait like 5 years for your husband to come back after the war ends, but, like, Jesus Christ. What are we doing here?"
Girl WHAT?!
That is an absolutely WILD take 😭
And granted we each bring to characters our own experiences and I def have a habit of really liking these kinds of characters/stories.
But holy hell. Kinda seems like a complete fundamental misunderstanding to me?
Granted it has been a very long time since I've read any translations of it in full and I haven't seen the movie (will wait til it's on streaming), so i could be very wrong. }
{ I am still around and working on replies, but I've also been focusing on house things and also sewing. Bc it's already July. Which means i have 2 months til my big con. }

BACKSTORY
Veronica Franco was born in Venice into a family who were native-born citizens with hereditary rights. As a professional caste, the cittadini originari made up the Venetian government bureaucracy and the religious confraternities. The daughter of a courtesan, Paola Fracassa, Veronica learned the profession of the honored courtesan (cortigiana onesta) by the mid- to late 1560s. Married to Paolo Panizza, a doctor, in an arranged union in the early 1560s, Franco separated from him soon after as her wills of 1564 and 1570 attest because she requests her dowry to be returned to her. She bore six children from different men, but only three survived beyond infancy. For most of her life she supported herself and a large household of children, tutors, and servants.
Veronica was the only daughter among the family's three sons. Her intellectual life began with sharing her brothers' education by private tutors. She became involved in the 1570s with Domenico Venier's renowned literary salon in Venice. Domenico served as a literary adviser not only to male writers but also to many women poets of the Veneto region. Veronica was a frequent visitor to Ca' Venier, his private palace. There she exchanged her capitoli in terza rima with male poets, and received sonnet commissions for anthologies she assembled to commemorate men of the Venetian elite, such as the military hero, Estore Martinengo.
In 1575 she published a volume of her own poetry, the Terze rime. There are 25 poems, but only 17 are by her. The others are by Marco Venier or an unidentified male author. Her poems represent and transform her life as a courtesan. As an honored courtesan she lived quite splendidly; she played music (the lute and the spinet), was well versed in the literature of ancient Greece and Rome as well as of the present, and mingled with thinkers, artists, politicians and poets.
Even though her letters firmly established her reputation as a courtesan to the elite, Franco was brought to the Inquisition courts in 1580 by her son's tutor, Ridolfo Vannitelli, on charges of having practiced magical incantations in her home. Her own defense, the help of Domenico Venier, and the predisposition of the Inquisitor freed her from the charges.
VERSES
Modern:
Veronica is a high-end escort from a fairly affluent, but, quickly declining, family. Her father, though a very good art appraiser, has been suffering from health issues (to which alcoholism has contributed).
She is also a poet and blogger who uses her blogs to talk about issues that are important to her, with her poetry in different magazines and collections. She’s published a book of poetry on her own, and is working on a book about sex workers throughout history. Despite her job and what she’s been through, she’s a hopeless romantic.
