Evaluation Of Workshops And Dante Inferno
This evaluation dissects and explores the strategies we used during the workshops to investigate the Seven Deadly Sins and Dante’s Inferno. The sins are; Pride, an excessive belief in one 's own abilities. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.Envy is the desire for others ' traits, status or situation. Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one needs. Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures. Anger is manifested in the individual who hates love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath. Greed is the desire for materialistic wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness. Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work.
Additionally we learnt about “Dante’s Inferno” which tells a story of Dante whose girlfriend had been taken away from him by Lucifer or Satan.Dante then met Virgil a famous poet born before Christ therefore he was stuck in limbo which is not hell or heaven. Dante and Virgil entered the wide gates of Hell and descended through the nine circles.. In each circle they saw sinners being punished for their sins on earth. We also explored William Blake’s poem the Proverbs of Hell including quotes in our narration using it to present the Seven Deadly Sins with accuracy.
For our first workshop we explored and evaluated the use of Still Images and Transitions.
The class was split
The Inferno is a tale of cautionary advice. In each circle, Dante the pilgrim speaks to one of the shades that reside there and the readers learn how and why the damned have become the damned. As Dante learns from the mistakes of the damned, so do the readers. And as Dante feels the impacts of human suffering, so do the readers. Virgil constantly encourages Dante the pilgrim to learn why the shades are in Hell and what were their transgressions while on Earth. This work’s purpose is to educate the reader. The work’s assertions on the nature of human suffering are mostly admonition, with each shade teaching Dante the pilgrim and by extension the reader not to make the same mistakes. Dante views his journey through hell as a learning experience and that is why he made it out alive.
Greed, Sloth, pride, lust, wrath, envy, and gluttony the seven deadly core sins. All of these sins are sadly sometimes a common occurrence in the human population. Day by day these occur all over the world in every corner of this earth these sins reside. This story will go over three things about the whole sinology, and those are how they are used in real life, the damaging effects that they cause, and its possible effects on society as a whole. This story will also be 7 paragraphs long not including this paragraph right here and at the end.
Dante’s descent into Hell in Inferno, the first part of his Divine Comedy, tells of the author’s experiences in Hades as he is guided through the abyss by the Roman author, Virgil. The text is broken into cantos that coincide with the different circles and sub-circles of Hell that Dante and Virgil witness and experience. Inferno is heavily influenced by classic Greek and Roman texts and Dante makes references to a myriad of characters, myths, and legends that take place in Virgil’s Aeneid, Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, and Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Some of the most important references, however, are the most obvious ones that are easily overlooked simply because of the fact that they are so blatant. Dante is being escorted through Hell by the
Upon entering an antechamber to hell, Dante and Virgil come upon large gates. Dante hears screams from souls that were damned and rejected by God, but also not accepted by hell. The “nowhere” souls are punished because of their refusal to make a choice in life. Tormented by flies and hornets on a furious pace forever, the souls are held captive by these large gates. Crossing through the gates, Dante and Virgil are met by the boatman Charon at the windy River Archeron. Rescinding from the boat, they enter the First Circle of Hell, known as Limbo. Dwelling in this circle are the honorable and righteous souls known as the “virtuous non-Christians”. The souls here are free of torment and live in desire, but will never see
In Dante’s Inferno, one chapter of three in Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy, the main protagonist of the poem, Dante frequently uses romance and love as one of the main themes to express his message and vision of Hell he portraits in the story. Dante’s Inferno is an epic poem about a recounting of Dante and his incredible journey through Hell and its many levels while he is being guided by Virgil. In the story, Hell is shown to have nine levels of suffering depending on what kinds of sin you committed during your life and each circle serves as different forms of punishment. During his journey, Dante starts to understand the soul, God, and Lucifer, as he describes the nine circles of hell being anger, gluttony, treasury, fraud, violence, heresy, lust, greed as he explores the circles and meets various people on the way.
Often, we cannot see the good until we have experienced the bad. Dante Alighieri, a poet who makes himself the main character in his Divine Comedy, finds himself lost in a dark wood at the start of The Inferno. Though he sees a safe path out of the wood towards an alluring light, he is forced to take an alternate route through an even darker place. As the ending of the pilgrim Dante’s voyage is bright and hopeful, Alighieri the poet aims to encourage even the most sinful Christians to hope for a successful end. Thus, Dante the pilgrim goes to hell in The Inferno to better understand the nature of sin and its consequences in order to move closer to salvation; his journey an allegory representing that of the repenting Christian soul.
Inferno is the first part of Dante’s Divine Comedy. There is no doubt that inferno is talking about the world of hell, which looks like Virgil’s Aeneid. In people’s mind, the under-earth world always seems dark and terrified. They also believe that most evil souls who do horrible and immoral things will go to hell after they die. Hell is the place that no people want to go to talk about. However, in Dante’s poem, hell is his first journey. He cannot avoid it to approach haven. Dante shows many vivid images of hell to readers and lead the readers to go through the journey with him. His inferno contains general facts of hell, which are evil people, horrible punishment, and eternal surfing, but it also involves an unexpected element that is love.
Dante Alighieri was a white guelph who wrote The Divine Comedy after being exiled from Florence. Dante wrote the Divine Comedy in 1308 and finished it in 1321. The Inferno which is a book in The Divine Comedy is about Hell. Sin to Dante is pride, avarice, and fraud. Dante punishes the sinners in a very non forgiving way. The way Dante places the sins is very strategic. Dante’s The Inferno was not only successful in his time, but it is also successful in modern time.
In Dante’s The Inferno, Dante creates the seven layers of hell categorized by sin and ordered by which sin Dante feels is the most virtuous (closest to the top) to the most sinful (at the bottom where it is the coldest). The Circles of Hell are: Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Avarice and Prodigality, Wrath and Sullenness, Heresy, Violence (murder, suicide, blasphemy, sodomy, and usury), Fraud, and Treachery. He puts well know characters from epic poems such as The Iliad, The Odyssey, and The Aeneid in the circles of hell that he feels is most suited for the sin committed while alive. Two characters that Dante mentions in hell is Dido, from The Aeneid, and Helen from the Iliad.
When you think of Hell, what do you see, perhaps a burning pit full of criminals and crazed souls? Or maybe you’re like Dante and have a well organized system of levels in correspondence with each person’s sins. In Dante Alighieri’s epic The Inferno, Dante and his real life hero, Virgil, go on an adventure through a rather elaborate version of Hell. In this version of Hell numerous thoughts and ideals are brought to the attention of the readers. Through Dante’s use of both imaginative and artistic concepts one can receive a great visual impression of how Dante truly views Hell, and by analyzing his religious and philosophical concepts the reader can connect with the work to better understand how rewarding this work was for the time period.
Dante is a poet who wrote an epic poem called The Divine Comedy. This epic poem is about Dante’s journey as he goes through 3 levels, which he calls Inferno, Purgatory and Paradise. In the Inferno, he meets Virgil, his guide throughout his voyage. They both pass through the nine circles of Hell, where they witness many different punishments for those who have done awful things in their past. Good versus evil is a major theme that occurred throughout Hell. In the Inferno, there are times where Dante sees good and evil and also represents it himself.
Often, we cannot see the good in something until we’ve experienced the bad. Dante Aghileri, a poet who stars in his Divine Comedy as a pilgrim, finds himself lost in a dark wood. Though he sees a safe path to the light and out of the wood, he is forced to take an alternate route through an even darker place. The Divine Comedy is an allegory representative of the Christian soul. As the ending is bright and hopeful for Dante, Aghileri spreads that the ending for even the most sinful Christians can be as hopeful as dante’s, provided that they take the steps needed to achieve salvation. Thus, Dante the pilgrim goes to hell to better understand the nature of sin and its consequences in order to move closer to salvation, his journey an representing that of the repenting Christian soul.
Around 1314, Dante Alighieri completed the Inferno, the first section of what would make up The Divine Comedy, a collection of three poems reflecting Dante’s imaginative journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. In these poems, Dante the poet describes the pilgrimage that Dante the pilgrim must complete to attain salvation. With the Roman poet Virgil as his guide, Dante the pilgrim must purge himself of his own sinful nature, which can only be achieved by observing and learning from those that have landed themselves in either Hell, Purgatory, or Heaven. Described in Inferno, his excursion begins in Hell where Dante learns about the stories and the sufferings of many sinners. As Dante the pilgrim progresses through Hell it is clear that he assumes different personas. In some instances, Dante the pilgrim is portrayed as an empathetic man who pities the sinners while on other occasions, Dante the pilgrim is portrayed as a callous and indignant being in regard to the sinners. While Dante the pilgrim is depicted in these two completely different ways, it is the insensitive portrayal that more precisely depicts Dante the pilgrim, as that is his true identity when he leaves Hell. His journey affected him so greatly that by the end of his pilgrimage, Dante the pilgrim has transformed from a compassionate man into an impervious and even cruel individual.
In Dante’s Inferno, we followed Dante as he narrates his decent and observations of hell. A wonderful part of that depiction is his descriptions of the creative yet cruel punishments that each of the different sinners receive. This story is an integral part of literary history, and even if I were to have the imagination and ability of Dante Alighieri, I don’t believe I would change this tried and true version known universally.
The Inferno by Dante is a story of a mans voyages through the treacherous depths of hell. Dante is a man who has strayed from the path of a catholic way of life. Now he needs to travel through hell to reach the virtuous path that will take him to heaven. He is guided through hell by a man who is in limbo, the first circle of hell, named Virgil. Virgil takes him through hell and shows him people suffering for the sins that they have committed. Together they travel through the nine different stages of hell observing who is in each stage, what there punishment is, and what sins they committed to get there. Virgil was sent to guide Dante through hell by Beatrice who is the love of Dante’s life. Beatrice plays a
