Dante Writing Assignment—20 points Due: No later than midnight
Sunday, February 18. Please submit this as a
cut-and-paste e-mail rather than as an attachment. The head note preceding The
Inferno states that in Dante’s hell “one’s punishment is not merely
appropriate to the crime but is the crime” (1460). Find three examples of this in The Inferno. For each example, please identify the
following: ·
the canto ·
the specific
location in hell ·
the sinner(s) ·
the specific
sin ·
the specific punishment. Finally, for each of your three examples, clearly explain
in what way or ways the punishment IS the sin. |
