Then, we will move on to an introduction to Dante's Inferno. You will all need to take the following test: Take the following test and see what region of Hell you belong in.
Tonight, you will need to read Canto 1 and watch the video below!
Here are two websites full of information on Dante's Infero: University of Texas here and The World of Dante here
As we read you need to outline each section of HELL:
Each section should contain:
1) What type of sinners are in the circle (note that some circles have sub-divisions)
2) The punishment(s)
3) Who is there (both real people and those from literature)
4) Discuss how the punishment fits the sin
5) List the monster/demon in the various circles
7) List any allusions (outside literary characters)
8) List a theme
These outlines will be due next Wednesday. I expect them to be detailed.
