Relate Castiglione’s description of the behavior of women to Cereta’s view on the pursuit of learning for women.
What will be an ideal response?
Cereta acknowledges that there are some women who willingly choose to follow Castiglione’s advice to cater to the expectations of men. Although Castiglione recommends “knowledge” of a variety of subjects, it is clear that this knowledge is to be used only for the entertainment of men. Cereta, on the other hand, speaks of a “deeper integrity” in women that drives them toward a free mind.
