In what ways does van gogh make the stars accessible? in what ways do the stars contrast with the village?

He makes them the "star" or center of the painting.

Explanation:

Looking at the Starry Night, stars are the first thing to catch one's attention. Vincent van Gogh makes them accesible to the viewer by making them shine, bright and the center of his piece.

In contrast, the village is small, at the bottom of the painting and with dark colors. It almost blends with the field, making it hard to see it at first.

These two aspects of the painting are complete opposite; once again making the starts the "stars" of the painting. This is why the painting's called The Starry Night.

boccaccio employs the voice of his narrator dioneo to represent his ideas on the tension between masculinity and femininity.  while dioneo excites the members of the brigata and recognizes women for their unique skills and independent ideas, he concludes the decameron with a story reminiscent of the society from which these young aristocrats escaped, revealing misogynistic overtones.  dioneo boccaccio is able to explore the gender disparity which is inherent in 14th century florentine society.
