Document Summary
Later we find our beatrice commissioned virgil to guide him: many epic similes, hero= dante, journey= through paradise, purgatory, and the inferno, will encounter trials and tests along the way. Least forgivable: dante sees figure and asks who/what it is, the figure gives clues to who he is: I am not alive, though i once was. I lived during the reigns of julius cesar and cesar augustus. Malign: vicious, her veracity feeding makes her hungrier , figuratively refers to greed and how it is a sin that feeds off itself. I will be your guide through the eternal place : hell, cries of despair , tormented spirits . Purgatory: souls that are content to dwell in fire because they know they are going to by purged/ go to heaven. Paradise: beatrice will be your guide to the heavens. Canto 3: inscription on the gate of hell, all about justice. The wafflers / opportunistic: only out for themselves.
