The Green Heys fields were located in the inner-city south of Manchester. They were large grassy areas that were rural and considered the countryside to those who lived in the heart of the city. Green Heys was left untouched by factories, machines, or mill owners. It was filled with walking paths, the sounds of nature, and was a haven for men and women who needed peace and space. The city was constantly bustling, loud, and demanding. Green Heys became a refuge for the classes as they spent time outdoors and away from mistreatment.

This was where Castruccio left Euthanasia to get on the boat that leads to her demise.

"The plain they had just corssed was dimly seen beneath, bounded by its hills; before them was another plain, desrt and barren, through which the Serchio flows, bounded by the dark line of the sea; and the Lago di Macciucoli, a marshy lake, was close beneath.  'Here I leave you,' said Castruccio: 'there is your destination,' and he pointed to the sea" (434).

 "Her faintness began now to dissipate; but her reason did not return. The first words she uttered were those of madness; she raved of that which ever haunted her thoughts in delirium, her prison in Romagna" (390).

I didn't have the direct location of the prison and Romagna is no longer a place. But it is a region. Below are pictures from the San Leo prison from that region. The prison dates back to the Middle Ages. Perhaps this was what Mary Shelley had in mind or she might have even visited this place.

"My journey to your castle was very long. I crossed the Apennies during the summer, and passing through Florence I arrived at Pistoia in the beginning of June" (357).

Beatrice reflects here on how unhappy she felt comparing herself to Euthanasia. She also talks about how her lonliness made her feel as if she was cast out at sea with no option to return to land: "I remained nearly three months at Pistoia, very unhappy, hesitsting, -- cast about, as a boat that for ever shifts its sail, but can never find the right wind to lead it into port."

Bindo brings Beatrice to meet Mandragola in the woods in order to conjure the presence of Castruccio (386-390). This is where Beatrice last encounters Tripalda, which sends her into the final bout of madness that leads to her death. She does not die, however, until she after she is returned by Castruccio's orders to Euthanasia's palace in Lucca (391-3) .
