The closer you're to hell is how bad the torture is, but if you're farther from hell the less the punishment and torture is.

In the poem Virgil's presence is useful to Dante's journey through hell, because it’s complicated, and they don't know their way around Dante would become in despair and lost if he were to travel through hell alone. Virgil knows somewhat his way around to guide Dante through the many levels Dante started to lose hope during their journey. Vigil divulged that he was sent by Beatrice, who is Dante’s dead wife even in death she was still negotiating for him. She pleaded with Virgil to watch and help Dante because she knew Virgil's presence would calm and comfort Dante throughout the journey. Dante has a lot of hope in Virgil and has high standards for him, so he trusts Vigil to help escort him through the afterlife even though it may be challenging. Compare and contrast The Odyssey and Inferno? The poems Odyssey and Inferno have a similarity both Ulysses and Dante experience the underworld Odyssey is trying to seek his mother and get back home and Dante also experiences it, because he is representing of dying to the world . A difference they have is that in Inferno Dantes is about a Christian afterlife by using Gods and other greek. Nonetheless in The Odyssey he refers to Gods and heroes related with the Greek mythology, while the writing is restricted about culture and beliefs of his people. Dante does not limit his writing in any way. Christianity is the superior and was the religion at the time Inferno was written. Additional both men have love for women in their past in Odyssey he was trying to rejoin with his Penelope and in the poem Inferno Dante was trying to reunite for his love Beatrice the moral of that comparison was their were trying to find the women they loved. https://ncia.wwnorton.com/169414/r/goto/cfi/512!/4 Mon, 24 Oct 2022 05:05:29 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/328383?scroll_to=2920257 https://nowcomment.com/documents/328383?scroll_to=2920257 Medea Extra Credit Yazmin Riojas South Plains College ENGL-2332 DR. Escamilla 10/7/2022 The song “Mad Women” by Taylor Swift, has many comparisons to Medea, because Medea is in fact a mad women she was let down and betrayed by her husband, which turned her out to be very insane which led her to kill her children. Medea has every right to be a mad woman but killing her children should not have led that far to get payback at jason. The song relates to Medea in various ways In the song the lyrics say “What a shame she went mad you made her like that” Jason made her like that she went mad, because the betrayal of him he brought upon her anger she didn't even know she might have had shes goes mad and kills her children to make Jason suffer for his actions. Another lyric related to Medea is “Every time you call me crazy I get more crazy. What about that? And when you say i seem angry i get angry and there's nothing like a mad women what a shame she went mad” It relates to Medea, because it's a real shame she went mad she killed her own children not even thinking. As a result she lost her husband and her children due to her becoming a mad women It gave Jason a wake up call showing she wasn't playing about the hurt he caused her. Euripedes, Medea, pg 756-790 The Norton Anthology of World Literature, Vols. A, B, & C. Author: Sarah Lawall, ed. Swift, (2022,7,23) Official lyric video by Taylor Swift “mad woman” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DP4q_1EgQQ Thu, 06 Oct 2022 00:35:25 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/328084?scroll_to=2920239 https://nowcomment.com/documents/328084?scroll_to=2920239 I think that Jason thought he was doing the right thing by leaving Medea for his childs safety, but it just made the situation worse and Medea took it too far by murdering her own son to hurt Jason.
