Question Description
I’m working on a humanities question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Choose a quote from Canto 1-5 in Dante’s Inferno that you find particularly interesting, insightful, beautiful, etc., and explain why you chose it. What is its importance in the text? What does it reveal about Dante as an author? NOTE: the quote itself does not count toward the minimum word count for the RP.
part 2:
As we begin our exploration of Dante and ‘The Inferno’, we will explore the many influences that Dante drew upon, as well as the many later artists and authors that his work influenced. For this DB, choose one artwork that is directly influenced by Dante’s work—a simple internet search of “Dante Inferno art” should yield a huge number of options—and include an image of your choice in your DB post (you will probably need to choose something that we haven’t reached in lecture yet). Explain why you chose the option you did, what about it interests you, and what you think the artist is trying to emphasize in their work.
