Divine Principle

Dante’s “Divine Comedy” is the focal point of this paper. Pietro’s introduced in the Inferno Canto XIII, corresponding to the Second Ring of the Seventh Circle of Hell. Of all characters that I have come across in the Divine Comedy, Pietro to me is extremely significant as he does not claim that he was wrongfully punished in hell but worries of being recognized as an unfaithful person in the world. The concept of this paper surrounds the idea of Pietro and Dante’s interactions in the Divine…

As a finance major, I agree with Dante’s warning or hoarding and squandering wealth. From a more economical point of view, our world consists of two types of people, lenders and borrowers. The economy can only function when the people with money can lend to the people without money. Through this process people with money can be good stewards of their money and help those with less afford things they need, like houses. This whole process is built upon stewardship, justice and love and…

One of the misconceptions about hell that Sartre touches upon in No Exit is that it is typically imagined as a place of pitchforks and fire – a place based more on physical torture than mental. In the case of Sartre’s hell, Garcin suffers a hell that is mostly psychological, with Inez and Estelle being the sources of his torment. In my opinion, these are the two forms of hell that could exist – physical and psychological torment. One of them provides a tangible feeling that a person suffers and…

Introduction “Dante’s divine comedy’ is a poem based on a family with two children. One of them is a girl and a boy who was the big problem, but the mother was always on his side while the father was always on the daughter’s side (Klein & Deborah 620). Dante’s actions towards her sister were so suggestive that he required trigger warning for the safety of the younger sister and a peaceful family. The writer describes some themes in his work as discussed below. Racism Racism is a phenomenon or…

hate for the Black Guelphs (those who exiled him from Florence) or likeness for the White Guelphs on his side. Brunetto was a Guelph writer who also spent many years in exile and wrote allegorical journeys that greatly inspired Dante to write The Divine Comedy. The structure and tone of the passage reveals a greater point on the nature and equality of God’s love for man. Although other people in the story have been friends, Brunetto’s encounter is unique because…

Once again, as in “Friday”, and as in Catholic devotional tradition, these failures are the “daily wounding” that continues to nail Christ to the “eternal Cross” of the poem’s title. In one of Jennings’ early collections, Song for a Birth or Death a sequence of poems entitled “The Clown”, the circus clown becomes a clear image of the crucified Christ. The similarity is apparent in a variety of terms that include innocence “you seem like one not fallen from grace”, “helplessness” and the…

The first two books of The Divine Comedy, Inferno and Purgatory, by Dante follow Dante as he journeys from hell to purgatory. In Inferno, Dante meets the poet Virgil who guides him through the rings of hell. Once the two reach the bottom of hell, Virgil continues to guide Dante through the next realm in Purgatory. Throughout this epic adventure, Dante not only provides an entertaining story, but also presents numerous ideas concerning the afterlife. These ideas range from simple descriptions of…

similar, but many differences are in place between them. Similarities between the two include the introduction of a guide in the form of someone that the character trusts, the fact that both Dante and Chris have to make a journey through places of divine creation to get to their hearts’ desire, and a tone that ends up giving knowledge. Differences in the two are actually comparable to the similarities that the two share: Dante makes his journey to Paradiso whilst Chris goes down to “hell,” and…
