This essay examines images of distorted, confused, managed, and created space which run throughout the prologue and the tales of the Decameron, in particular the story of Andreuccio da Perugia (2.5). Observing how, with the freedom that comes from living in depopulated spaces, Boccaccio's narrators tell stories that testify to the simultaneous pleasure and anxiety such freedom brings, I argue that for Boccaccio the disruption of sacred space results in a boundless and potentially terrifying freedom to interpret space as one wishes.

這篇文章檢視《十日談》故事及序言中經由扭曲、混亂、管理、及創造而形成的空間意象，特別是Andreuccio da Perugia的故事(2.5)。藉由在清空人口的空間裡生活的自由，觀察薄伽丘的敘述者如何講述茲以驗證該自由伴隨而來的快樂和焦慮，我主張對於薄伽丘而言，神聖空間的紛擾造成了潛在無限並可怕的空間詮釋自由。
