  • THE BORGIAS
  • The years of the greatest influence of the Borgias (1435 - 1520) correspond to one of the most important periods in European history. It is the age of the Renaissance, the beginning of the Age of Exploration, and the age of some of the great rulers, artists, and writers who have influenced our Modern Age.

    Although the clarity of description of the two scenes is unsettling in the extreme, the author, Boyden, has something he wants to say: What do you think it is?
  •  
    I am not too sure what the author wants to say but i think it might be something about one person coming into the world and the way another leaves the world. --i would really like to know you thoughts radney.

    My thoughts as I read the story involved shock at the violence and stark reality of unwilling death and also shock at the details of the beginning of life (read: more information than I wanted). I felt uncomfortable (though not in the same way for the two parts of the story), and I became somewhat curious as to how a storyteller could influence my feelings so much.
