The And Inferno By Dante Alighieri - topic Warm

The poems are quite short: it would take about as long to read the whole Inferno as it would to read the detailed canto summaries and analyses, although they might be helpful for understanding Dante's difficult language. In the Inferno, Dante starts on ground level and works his way downward; he goes all the way through the earth and Hell and ends up at the base of the mountain of Purgatory on the other side. On the top of Purgatory there is the terrestial paradise the garden of Eden , and after that he works his way through the celestial spheres. The plot of the Divine Comedy is thus very simple: it is the narrative of Dante's journey towards redemption. The Inferno is generally thought to be the best and most interesting part, which may be a result of its inverse structure: the moral plot is less visible because Dante descends into Hell. God is almost totally absent, and Dante, not excessively constrained by piety, feels free to make Hell colorful and lively, which is not necessarily the case in the Paradiso. He sees a sunlit hill but it unable to climb it because three wild beasts frighten him back these symbolize different sins. Fortunately he then meets the spirit of the Roman epic poet Virgil , who says that he has been sent by Beatrice to lead him to salvation. The And Inferno By Dante Alighieri.
