An Introduction to Dante, his Commedia, and our reading of Inferno
Set Dante's Inferno Presentation Assignment
By Friday, read Inferno, Cantos 1 and 2; Who is this speaker? Where does he find himself? Why is he not where he wants to be? It's fine to be confused when you begin the poem; you're in good company. I had hoped to clarify as much as I could today, but I'll probably have to continue Friday with my explanation of the premise of the poem and its place within La Commedia.

Inferno, Cantos 1 and 2
Annotated bibliography review
Over the weekend you're reading Cantos 3 and 4. Pay close attention to the inscription on the gates of Hell. Here we meet the neutral angels -- those "hateful to God and to His enemies" -- in the region of Hell known as the Ante-Inferno. Think about the contrapasso of this realm. What are these sinners guilty of, and how is their punishment appropriate? What are the souls compared to near the end of the Canto?
