The head

Why would Isabella take Lorenzo’s head? Why not simply take a lock of his hair. I would have taken the hair, because what if one day she decides to move on, what does she do with the head then? If the man, that her brothers wanted her to marry, accidently opens the place holding his head and finds the decapitated head that would frighten anyone. How else is a person supposed to react to finding his head, even though she thoroughly cleaned the head of grime. Having the head is almost like having a skeleton in your closet, it will come back to haunt you. Even though she seems to find sentiment in keeping the cranium most would find it odd and peculiar. Although given the time, back then you would do anything to keep a loved one close. Parents would keep their daughters locked away so that they could not fall in love with a man that they don’t want her to. They need their daughters to marry a wealthy man so that they could gain from the profits and expand their own wealth. Isabella often with Lorenzo and they made it seem like Lorenzo and Isabella could not be together, yet they were openly so. The brothers should have openly told her rather than going behind her back and lying constantly. She had it in her heart and mind that her lover would be coming back to her, when he never did she worried and had dreams about him. Which makes me wonder how she even had the dream in the first place, was it a random occurrence? How did Lorenzo first appear in her dream, even with the area surrounding him and it was detailed too. How often do we have dreams that are true and show a real picture? She never got over her love for him, and she kept him with her, even if it was a strange way to keep a loved one by you.
