Reading Notes: Dante's Inferno, Part A

Dark Wood and the Hill
It would be so interesting to describe this scene in detail
  • dark, dense
  • wild
  • reeking of fear and uncertainty
It wold be interesting to see what it is like for Dante to step out from the woods into the light--describe the light and the utter feeling of being made insignificant in the grand scheme of things when he sees the light at the top of the hill when he exits the woods
--mostly an introspective piece emotive and writing style to reflect that ie. very descriptive
perhaps include some poetry between the lines-- from Inferno or Inviticus?

Limbo
in study focus on the virtuous heathens
  • walking through the darkness into a brightly lit realm
  • describe it at first sight-elysian fields
  • include an explanation of who is there
  • end with comments about how this is still hell, even if it does not look like it
    • trapped knowing that this place is not heaven 
  • make it become apparent that though not punished no one is exactly happy with their circumstance 
    • Virgil,  Homer, Ceaser, Aeneas, Aristotle, Orpheus, Plato
