If I Were Donata
As I have been reading a book called The Daughter of Venice, I have been thinking what I would do if I were Donata, the heroine. Because I live in Twenty-first century, I don’t think that I could understand Donata’s attitude and the situation that Donata had gone through. However, if I were Donata, I would accept my destiny that I would not try to avoid the duties that nobility woman has to face.
Donata lied to her parents and escaped from her palazzo to explore the world outside from her home. As she felt trapped inside of her palazzo, she hated to do things that others expect of her. Moreover, Donata wanted to receive an education however, by that time period, it was very unpopular for women to receive education as the society did not accept it. “I felt guilty when Laura quit tutorial lessons, and I told her.” (Page. 149) I wouldn’t let my sister to do all of my work because it’s my responsibility to finish it. Moreover, if Donata’s mother had noticed that Laura was doing Donata’s work while Donata was outside working in someplace else, Donata would get into a trouble for sure and that also goes to Laura. Because I would never want my siblings to get a trouble for me therefore, I would not ignore what I have to do. Moreover, when Donata went out, a beggar boy bullied Donata. I don’t understand why Donata was eager to keep explore even though she was treated differently from what she would have been treated inside of her palazzo. “If your beg as bad as you lie, you’ll not last long in this world. Take your fake fancy talk and go die somewhere else.” No one could treat a noble girl like this, it would be so insulted to me and I would not explore any longer.
I am not interested in society as much as Donata does. Maybe, it’s because I already know and I have freedom to be educated as much as I want to. Moreover, I haven’t been trapped inside of the house as Donata has felt. Therefore, it’s impossible to understand her desire completely. However, even if I do not understand her, because I do have some parts that I disagree with her, I would never act so selfish as her such as lying to my parents and using my siblings for the benefit of my own.
