The spread of the Black Death
The Black Death had a negative effect on European society. In the text The spread
of Epidemic Disease, the author writes that the black plague killed over 50 million
people. This is also clearly evident in the text The Decameron when the author
writes that mothers and fathers abandoned their own children because they were
scared of the Black Death. Additionally, the painting The Triumph of Death vividly
shows how the Black Death killed the people.
All these details describe that the black plague had a negative effect on European
society because it significantly reduced town population.
I think that the Black Death wanted to take over the world.
I see cows, people and a skeleton in the painting.
There is a skeleton killing people in the painting with a weapon called reaper.
The skeleton was killing the people in Europe.
It is a diseases that the people get from rat that makes the people die.
The purpose of the painting is that artist want to show how the Black Death kill
over 50 million.
