- Analysis

- Let me introduce to you my friend from

other 13th century
- He is Dante Alighieri

(born c. May 21, 1265, Florence, Italy—

died September 13, 1321, Ravenna),
Italian poet, prose writer, literary theorist,
moral philosopher, and political thinker.
He is best known for the monumental
epic poem La commedia, later named La
divina commedia (The Divine Comedy).
-He was also the Father of the Italian
language

-
 - He was the writer of the famous italian
Narrative poem entitled Inferno.
- When he was writing this peom in 13th
century, he was living in exile, meaninng
he is in a situation where he is forced to
leave his country because of political
reasons.
- So he do write the inferno because he had
lost his way and needed direction.
- As I`ve said a while ago, inferno is long
narrative poem.

- What is a long narrative poem?

- Narrative poetry tells stories
through verse. Like a novel or a
short story, a narrative poem has
plot, characters, and setting.

- That`s way you have noticed that there are

characters and place mention in the poem.

- Inferno is consist of 14, 233 lines, 34

cantos, divided in to three parts namely ;
inferno, purgatory and paradiso known as
Paraiso. There are 9 circle of hell indicated
in cantos. - There are 9 circle of hell indicated

Circle IV: Greed
Circle V: Anger
Circle VI: Heresy
Circle VII: Violence
Circle VIII: Fraud

designated place for different sins.

cantos.

- Let`s discuss what happened in Canto III.

- We have three main characters in this

Canto
- He was the one who entered the gate of Hell.
- One we have Dante. He was the poets and the writer of the story
of Canto III

- What Dante heard in Hell?

-Yes, Elaine
- Ma`am, he heard cries and anguish
- That`s right!

- He heard a miserable soul crying because of eternal

pain. Dante heard how gnaws their teeth because of
the pain.

- What Dante saw in Hell? - Ma`am, Dante sees the first of the souls in
- Yes, Lina? torment.

- Dante saw how wasp comes out from the

skin of soul and how blood comes out.
-
- Can you imagine what Dante saw?
Like if have watched the last episode of
Jessica Soho. About the boy who jumped
to get a rambutan and suddenly fell in
sharp metal fence and his two legs
skewered.
- Maybe his reaction was same as yours.
- Who was with him when he entered the gate
of Hell?
- Virgil, ma`am
- Yes, Rona?
- While roaming around in hell, Dante was with Virgil.
Virgil begins the journey by telling to Dante the
screams he hears is the souls who did not choose evil
or good. These souls have been denied to enter in
heaven or hell. Since they did not choose a side in
life, they cannot rest in death.
- Then they reach the river of Acheron or know as a
river of pain, this place was the boarder of hell. There
is a boat to take newly dead souls across the river
and was guided of Charon.

-Who was Charon in the poem? - He was the person who Recognized Dante as
- Yes, Pauline? a living man and angrily refuses him to
passage.

- She`s right!
- He also recognized and refuses Dante to take
to another side of the river.
- But Virgil force Charon to bring them the
other side of the River.
- Virgil explains to Dante that the only soul
meant to be in hell can only be crossed the
river.

- As they crossing the river an earth quake

shakes the ground and Dante faints of
Terror.

- - The journey of Dante was just getting

started in Canto III. When he woke up he
was in Canto IV which was the first circle of
hell located.

- If you want to know what happened to

Dante throughout the poem. You can read it
on the internet.
