The Next Part

The assignment for today may have two different ways of being answered: one of them is saying how the rest of the Devine Comedy would be, basing ourselves with the Inferno. The other way is writing of how we think the way back out, or even the rest of the Inferno would be. I will choose the first option.

I think that next Dante would begin a transition in his life. He would learn from what he saw in the Inferno to generate progress from his experiences. “O reader, do not ask of me how I grew faint and frozen then – I cannot write it: all words would fall far short of what it was.”(Inferno, Canto XXXVI, 22) Here we can see how he did have many experiences. So many he asks us, the reader, not to ask ourselves what he did. He is showing us how he doesn’t know why he turned into a person with no hope, “faint and frozen”. I think that in the continuing parts of the Devine Comedy Dante will leave that behind, use it as a chance to learn, gain experience. he will probably change his way of life, knowing what awaits him after life. Having in the back of his mind that if he sins there will be grave punishment.
