    suggests‚ the concept of sacredness also applies to time ("born‚ lived‚ and died" are events in time) and space ("city")‚ which are continuous themes throughout the Vita nuova. The sacredness of Beatrice is made apparent very early in the text. The Dante persona first meets Beatrice at the age of nine‚ and describes the encounter with Biblical language‚ "first appeared the glorious lady" (VN 2:1). In the same paragraph‚ he refers to her as a "youthful angel" (VN 2:8) and quotes Homer‚ ‘"she seemed

    Dante’s Inferno is a symbol of Dante’s relationship with the Church during his life‚ and though it was written after the Black Plague‚ it has many examples of the issues humanity had during the plague. Pope Boniface VIII was Dante Alighieri’s worst enemy. First‚ the Pope betrayed Dante’s beloved White Guelphs party. The party was originally the Guelphs who split into two parties‚ The White Guelphs and the Black Guelphs‚ after defeating the Ghibellines in the Guelph-Ghibelline conflict. The split

    In Dante’s Inferno‚ the Third Pouch of the Malebolge is reserved for simoniacs; clergymen that sold ecclesiastical preferment and/or offices to members of the Catholic Church in return for money and material goods. In the Third Pouch‚ these men are hung by their feet in pits of darkness while their feet are charred by the flames of fires above them. This punishment reflects Dante’s abhorrence for simoniacs‚ whom he considers to be unethical‚ avaricious‚ and inconsiderate of the souls that they have

    Ugolino is placed in the ninth circle‚ close to Satan. It can be seen throughout the Inferno that the lower down Dante and Virgil go‚ the more dehumanized the sinners are. This is because the souls that are damned to Hell participated in sins and vices that were considered unvirtuous‚ and by Aristotle’s thinking‚ being unvirtuous reduces the human to an animal-like

    of this poem I have noticed a change. It was brought up in class‚ the passage where Dante the narrator explicitly addresses the reader. Again‚ on page 229‚ Dante stops to take a moment addressing the reader‚ “If‚ reader‚ you are slow now to believe / what I shall tell‚ that is no cause for wonder‚ / for I who saw it hardly can accept it.” (Canto XXV‚ 46-48) I am curious about Dante’s purpose. In these passages‚ Dante the author steps in and takes over the story from being told by his character. Is

    it. Dantes sees this pattern in his adversaries as they provide him with a Utopian idea‚ but in reality Edmond is able to read between the lines and use this against them. As always quoted‚ fear is your greatest enemy as it never goes away. Fear is always there while your actual enemy fades away. The greatest fear is the fear out of the realm of control. Dantes utilizes fear to gain victory over his opponents as they are used to dominance‚ but loss of control causes them to unravel and Dantes to pull

    Bruni accuses Dante of having a lack of knowledge with respect to contemporary culture. In his writings‚ Dante describes Marcus Cato‚ who perished in the civil wars‚ as a very old man with a long white beard- an obvious display of ignorance‚ since he died at Utica in the forty-eighth year of his life. (Bruni‚ The

    Dante believe people in hell are tortured by fire raining from the sky as illustrated in the picture‚ “The Violent Tortured in the Rain of Fire”. Knowing Dante was from Italy‚ he was most likely a follower of Roman Catholicism. This means he would believe that people in hell are suffering the consequences of sins they committed while on earth. This is clearly shown in the picture as the people are being burned by raining fire. Dante was also influenced by St. Thomas Aquinas who was a catholic and
