The Inferno

So this past week we have been reading parts of the Inferno, and so far it seems interesting. Dante had a very twisted mind and it shows in what he wrote. So far we've read the beginning part and read about the 2nd part of hell. I think that this story is really good from what i've read. We only read the parts that the book think is the most important parts. The second story is about lust and it told a story about one of the people who are in this circle of hell. The person who he talks to is Francesca, and she is there because her and paris were together when she was married to Giovanni, and he found out about them and killed them both. So far in this semester I think that this is my favorite thing that we've done. Just because its strangely  cool to me. Its weird, yes, but it kind of draws you in.

  1. Yeah Dante was really creative with the punishments in each circle and I like how they symbolize their sins on earth.
