The plague was extremely fast-acting in presenting symptoms and then dying from them. The Italian writer Boccaccio said its victims often "ate lunch with their friends and dinner with their ancestors in paradise." Because no one understood how the plague was passed from person to person or from animal to person, people came to believe that the plague was divine retribution from God. For that reason, heretics, Jews and others were massacred in an effort to rid themselves of the disease.
