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

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

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
