Esthetics, eroticism and sex parity: Umberto Eco’s History of Beauty and History of Ugliness
Abstract
The topic of comparative analysis which is presented in this article is The Story of Beauty and The
Story of Ugliness edited by Umberto Eco. Even the covers of these books show the contrast between
men and women. How esthetic values build a feedback with sexual parity? Ugly men look
at beautiful women – this patriarchal discrimination can’t be cancelled either by the parity of sex
in The Story of Beauty, nor men who twice outnumber them in The Story of Ugliness. Also as the
unfair sex they are prior sex: they humiliate themselves and elevate women
