Devil's Inferno (Siren Publishing Allure)

The first part of the canto contains reflection on vendettas. In Dante’s day vendettas were not only common but an accepted part of the moral and legal code. Through the figure of Geri del Bello, however, Dante wants to question this practice. By constructing the narrative in such a way as not to have Dante speak directly to Geri del Bello, Dante seems to want to condemn the common practice of vendettas, which perpetuated civil strife and divisions. When the day of Pentecost had come, they [the apostles] were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability."

We can interpret the silence in many ways. In one regard, silence is reverential and respectful. While other sinners explain their circumstances that led to their crimes, the sins of Lucifer, Brutus, Cassius, and Judas require no explanation. Even to modern readers, these three men are notorious for their treacherous actions. In a way, Dante’s decision to keep these figures silent reinforces that their crimes will never be forgivable or redeemable. They will languish forever, unable to communicate any pain or remorse. Their resignation imbues them with a more composed, civilized appearance against sinners in the earlier pits of hell.

Fifth Circle (Wrath) [ edit ] The fifth circle, illustrated by Stradanus The Barque of Dante by Eugène Delacroix On the evening of Good Friday, Dante hesitates as he follows Virgil; Virgil explains that he has been sent by Beatrice, the symbol of Divine Love. Beatrice had been moved to aid Dante by the Virgin Mary (symbolic of compassion) and Saint Lucia (symbolic of illuminating Grace). Rachel, symbolic of the contemplative life, also appears in the heavenly scene recounted by Virgil. The two of them then begin their journey to the underworld. A depiction of rebel angles being ejected from heaven by God. Many interpret Isaiah 14:12, which describes the fallen angel Lucifer, being cast from heaven, as describing Satan.

Inferno XXI

After a long journey, Dante and Virgil finally come to behold Lucifer in the flesh. Similar to the giants, it is difficult for Dante to make sense of Lucifer’s size ( Inferno, 34.13-5).This sparks Dante to reflect on his own existence, writing: In the ninth circle, the lines between life and death feel blurred. Concrete notions of humanity and being have slipped away as we try to comprehend the suffering of the giants and Lucifer. In the distance, Dante perceives high towers that resemble fiery red mosques. Virgil informs him that they are approaching the City of Dis. Dis, itself surrounded by the Stygian marsh, contains Lower Hell within its walls. [59] Dis is one of the names of Pluto, the classical king of the underworld, in addition to being the name of the realm. The walls of Dis are guarded by fallen angels. Virgil is unable to convince them to let Dante and him enter.

In the third circle, the gluttonous wallow in a vile, putrid slush produced by a ceaseless, foul, icy rain – "a great storm of putrefaction" [46] – as punishment for subjecting their reason to a voracious appetite. Cerberus (described as " il gran vermo", literally "the great worm", line 22), the monstrous three-headed beast of Hell, ravenously guards the gluttons lying in the freezing mire, mauling and flaying them with his claws as they howl like dogs. Virgil obtains safe passage past the monster by filling its three mouths with mud.

Francesca says, " Galeotto fu 'l libro e chi lo scrisse". [42] The word "Galeotto" means " pander" but is also the Italian term for Gallehaut, who acted as an intermediary between Lancelot and Guinevere, encouraging them on to love. John Ciardi renders line 137 as "That book, and he who wrote it, was a pander." [43] Inspired by Dante, author Giovanni Boccaccio invoked the name Prencipe Galeotto in the alternative title to The Decameron, a 14th-century collection of novellas. Ultimately, Francesca never makes a full confession to Dante. Rather than admit to her and Paolo's sins, the very reasons they reside in this circle of hell, she consistently takes an erroneously passive role in the adulterous affair. The English poet John Keats, in his sonnet "On a Dream", imagines what Dante does not give us, the point of view of Paolo:In this 1808 illustration by William Blake, entitled "Satan Arousing the Rebel Angels," Satan is depicted in human form, similar to the classical depictions of Greek gods.

Theodore Silverstein (1936), "Inferno, XII, 100–126, and the Visio Karoli Crassi," Modern Language Notes, 51:7, 449–452, and Theodore Silverstein (1939), "The Throne of the Emperor Henry in Dante's Paradise and the Mediaeval Conception of Christian Kingship," Harvard Theological Review, 32:2, 115–129, suggests that Dante's interest in contemporary politics would have attracted him to a piece like the Visio. Its popularity assures that Dante would have had access to it. Jacques Le Goff, Goldhammer, Arthur, tr. (1986), The Birth of Purgatory (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, ISBN 0-226-47083-0), states definitively that ("we know [that]") Dante read it. After finishing Speak of the Devil, an additional miscellaneous objective to access the Devil's terminal in Mass Pike Tunnel, found on the console behind the X-02 power armor, will be added. Accessing the "A humble request" option will lead to another objective to either shut down the radio transmission or to restore the Enclave Radio station. The first thing to note is that in Dante’s day Mohammed was not generally believed to be the founder of a new religion. He was believed, rather, to be a Christian priest who had abandoned the true Christian faith; and his attempt to gather followers through his preaching was thus seen as a cause of schism within Christianity itself. The next thing to note, in relation to Inferno XXIX, is that in Dante’s day Christianity and Islam were engaged in a number of wars against each other– in Sicily, Spain and the Middle East – which would have been seen by Christians ultimately as a result of the schism caused by Mohammed’s preaching. The Devils had a few more hours of recovery time than the Steelers, lets hope that will tell and make the difference to sway the game in the Devils favour.

The Map of Hell painting by Sandro Botticelli, among the extant ninety-two drawings originally included in his illustrated manuscript of the poem Ugolino and His Sons by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux ( Metropolitan Museum of Art) depicts Ugolino della Gherardesca's story from Canto XXXIII. Imprisoned for treachery, Ugolino starves to death with his children, who, before dying, beg him to eat their bodiesPhil Egan says: a very nervy first period where no team was able to get a goal. Devils seem to be creating more chances but Moose has been equal to all shots faced so far. Bowns has made a few saves also but nothing too testing for either nettie yet. Hoping for a bit more action and a few Devils goals in the 2nd. Allen Mandelbaum on Canto XXI, lines 112–114: "the bridges of Hell crumbled 1266 years ago – at a time five hours later than the present hour yesterday. Dante held that Christ died after having completed 34 years of life on this earth – years counted from the day of the Incarnation. Luke affirms that the hour of His death was the sixth – that is, noon. If this is the case, then Malacoda is referring to a time which is 7 AM, five hours before noon on Holy Saturday." [89]
