Dante Inferno Divine Comedy
772 wordsIn Dante's Inferno and Purgatorio, the reader finds recurrent images of blindness used as the punishment of the contrabass. Whether it is Calvacante dei Calvacante struggling to "see" what happened to his son, the diviners in Hell condemned to walk backwards, or the blind Sapia in the second terrace of Purgatorio, the contrabass of these characters does not allow them to see. Such a punishment is caused because, at any given moment of their lives, these characters have denied God-the "light" tha...

Dante Inferno Vs Bosch Garden Of Earthly Delights
1,357 wordsThe concept of Hell is a powerful one to all who give pause to question an act of morality or sin. We are warned that choosing a path of debauchery may cause us to fall out of the holy grace of our omniscient God, leaving our afterlife to be one of pain, misery and suffering. These teachings are, though terrifying to some, generally vague- the specifics incomprehensible and distant. Hell is well known as simply unpleasant and hot, but could there be more to the legend than that? Both Dante Aligh...

Commendable Story Paradiso Reader
588 wordsParadiso is not easy to enjoy. It is an alliance between difficulty and controversy. It is a narration of Dante's so called visit to heaven, which seems tangible to no one but him. He slowly gives us his perceived account while inserting an archive of philosophical tidbits, which often divert the reader's attention from the supposed plot. Dante claims himself gifted and says that all his said experiences are ones that he encountered first-hand. And so the reader is assumed to believe that the au...
