Dante
9 levels of Hell
Level 2- sins of the flesh/ unfaithfulness
Level 5- trapped in fiery tombs
-Dante makes allusions to help readers understand what he’s talking about.
-Historical figures vs. literary figures.
Quote-

And see the great Achilles,
|
|
|
|
who battled, at the last, with love.
'See Paris, Tristan,' and he showed me more
than a thousand shades, naming as he pointed,
|
69
|
|
|
whom love had parted from our life.

This quote told about the lust these literary figures went through during their lifetime in each of their stories.
Circle 1: limbo “virtuous pagans” (Aristotle, Socrates)
Circle 2: “the lustful” (Minos) Paolo and Francesca had an affair, Giovanni killed them. Tristan, Achilles, Helen, Paris, Cleopatra
Circle 3: “The Gluttonous”—the people produced nothing but garbage, consumed too much food and drink, tortured by freezing rain, dirty snow, huge hailstones, ripped apart by Cerberus (three-headed dog), Dante and Virgil speak to Ciacco. Sinners are cold and naked.
Circle 6: City of Dis “The Heretics”—pile of huge rocks that was once a cliff, Rebellious Angels guard gates, Heretic lie in flaming tombs, they will be sealed forever on Judgement Day, don’t believe in God’s existence to they are put in a fiery cemetery, (Uberti & Calvacani)
