Each punishment fit pretty perfect with the sinn it accompanied and the different punishments also have sort of a metaphorical meaning as well which is really interesting. An example would be the people that committed suicide got turned into these trees and got tortured by having their branches broken off. The metaphor behind this is, because they didn't value the life and body they were given, they were turned into these trees and got tortured instead. I think the order of the sins was good and I didn't see a need to change them.

In the life they lived they decided to sin, so in hell they got a punishment that fit their sins that they committed which is pretty ironic. I thought the snake one was interesting because their identities changed just like how they changed their identities being frauds in life before.

Without Virgil, there's no way that Dante would have made it through hell. While Virgil hadn't been all the way through hell before, he was a great guide and got Dante to trust him and they made it through hell safely.

Select three circles (or sublevels) of Inferno and explain how the punishment fits the sin. You can see many different punishments for different types of sins in the different circles. A lot of the punishments are pretty ironic. In circle six, were people that believed that when the body died, so did the soul, so these people lived their lives seeking pleasure and doing whatever they wanted. Their punishment was to be locked in a burning tomb for eternity. This is ironic because they thought their soul would die after death but instead, they are tortured for eternity. On the other side of circle 7 in the forest with all the dead looking trees. This place is for those that committed suicide. They are turned into these trees and tortured because they did not value the bodies that they were given. In the first ditch of circle 8 where all the pimps or people that own brothels go. They are whipped by horned demons that treat them like slaves which represents how they treated the women like slaves and like objects, so this punishment is fitting. Personal Question: What was one of the strangest punishments that you read about in Dante’s inferno? The Odyssey and Dante’s Inferno are pretty similar. One of the things that I found to be a comparison is the fact that throughout both of their stories, they go through struggles and see monsters along their journey. I can see Dante being like Odysseus’s men because he is being led by Virgil but a lot of times he doubts Virgil and thinks that they won’t make it out of hell, just like how Odysseus’s men doubted Odysseus a couple of times throughout the Odyssey.

Kids are a big responsibility but I personally would rather have kids despite the risks that come with them.

I like what you said about how they had different intentions with their spouse.

Medea was also wrong for taking it too far and killing her own sons just to make him suffer. Wed, 07 Dec 2022 13:15:22 -0500
