Inferno

Allegory of the Cave and the Inferno In the Allegory of the Cave there were people only able to look at the cave wall and only be able to see the shadows of what people were doing. The people looking at the wall could only really see a glimpse or part of what was going on in real life. This is a form of torture because the people are chained to face the wall and this is it, they can not turn around or anything. In the inferno Dante has to go through seven different layers of hell and…

Sammy’s Inferno Vestibule: Envy Those who are envious will be placed in the vestibule. The envious only care about what other people have — whether it be their possessions, talents, or status.

Victims in the vestibule will be given front row seats to the gate of heaven — there they will watch others enter heaven and reflect on the envious…

Dante’s Inferno by Dante Alighieri and No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre both highlight the punishment experienced by sinners in hell, but since these stories are written nearly 750 years apart and come from two completely different places, No Exit being first performed in France in 1944 and Dante’s Inferno being written in 1300’s by a medieval Italian man, the stories vary in their telling of how hell is like and how sinners are punished in hell. In No Exit the Sinners are psychologically tortured…

An epigraph from Dante Alighieri’s Inferno starts off the poem by T.S. Eliot known as “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.” In Italian the word inferno literally translates to hell. Thus, Inferno is an all too fitting title for the well known work of literature, especially when one takes into consideration that it occurs in the multi-layered and multi-faceted world of Hell. Eliot’s decision to use a section of Dante’s Inferno for his poem’s epigraph, not only leads the reader to believe that…

His use of the contrapasso throughout the Divine Comedy allows us to explore other meanings and causes to the sins. The sin; sloth, has an ironic punishment in Dante’s inferno and purgatorio, with an underlying reasoning of misguided love. While exploring other sources and authors interpretations of “sloth”, I have found that the explanation has changed and has been identified differently throughout the ages. I…

The reason Dante writes Inferno is because of Beatrice. Most of Dante’s work was inspired by her love and affection but the nature of this infatuation suggested that his love for her was not human love (driven by lust and punished as a sin in the second circle of Inferno), but in fact it was divine love (pure, holy and love that God has for his people which he expects in return). Her divine love serves as a pathway to God and salvation. Some level of Dante’s love for Beatrice is based on…

the line between right and wrong begins to blur. The Catholic Church realizes its obligation to reflect on the meaning of love within a family and couples while keeping in mind the communities ever changing customs. In Dante Alighieri’s poem The Inferno, Dante references Sodom, the city in the Bible that was destroyed with fire and Brimstone. The people of this city were punished for engaging in consensual homosexual acts, likewise Dante created a circle designated for Sodomy, emphasizing the…
