I found Canto’s 4 and 5 to be the most interesting, the descriptions/ illustrations that Dante gives in regard to Limbo/the first level (the vestibule) and the second level of Hell are quite haunting. Dante’s heroism is seen in his humanity and in his compassion and empathy; traits that are seen during these two Canto’s, even so, Dante is struggling between good and evil, here at the beginning of the journey.

In each canto, Dante combines his mastery of language with his sensitivity to the sights and sounds of nature to set the stage. He then reinforces the image with examples that call upon his infinite store of knowledge, and thus draw a parallel that
Safe places could turn out to be the most unsafe places. The “Ballad of Birmingham” is a great example of this. The church that a mother sends her child to is supposed to be safe and sacred.
