Network Analysis

Analyse how characters and places of "Gli occhiali d'oro" are associated to eachother. This tool will allow you to differentiate through characters' "communities" and urban places, and, by hovering over the graphs, to discover new perspectives on the relationships among them.

The first graph

The first graph shows the whole network of the book: it includes all the characters appearing and the various places visited by them. The different nodes have different colours depending on their type and class. Characters' nodes have warmer colours, while places' nodes have colder colours:

  • Primary characters
  • Narrator Family's characters
  • Students' characters
  • Bourgeoisie's characters
  • Historical characters
  • Cultural characters
  • Ferrara's locations
  • Bologna's locations
  • Adriatic region's locations
  • Others (both characters and locations)

The second graphs

The next graphs show how Fadigati's network changes before and after rumors about his sexuality start spreading (at the end of the second chapter).
