Volume 1: Inferno Change You In Some Major Way

The first aspect of the story that helps provide us with a better understanding of Dantès and his emotions are the biblical symbols and references scattered throughout the chapters we have covered. Among these symbols, the most evident is the translation of the term “Monte Cristo” into the phrase “Mountain of Christ”. Other biblical symbol includes the similarities, between Dantès’ escape into the ocean, and the religious practice of Baptism. Baptism as a practice is said to by the Catholic faith, to serve as a renewal ceremony, and the leaving behind of a past life to begin a new one as a Christian. This is similar to what happens to Dantès where he is plunged into the water and resurfaces with a renewed strength and happiness. Dantès’ reemergence can be seen in the following quote; “Exalted by the feeling of liberty, Dantès continued to cleave the waves in what he reckoned should be a direct line for the Isle of Tiboulen.”(Alexandre Dumas, 99) Dantès’ transition from life as Edmond Dantès, to the cunning and witty Count of Monte Cristo, can also be seen as apart of this metaphor for Baptism, where we see him leave behind his past life and values, for an improved personality and life.

Dante feels literally trapped in hell spit of his own free will. He makes a point of saying, “I could not make it out even had I turned in its direction” at this stage in hell for a reason.

The level of symbolism is quite profound and the reader is constantly engaged in a sorrowful discourse between Dante and some poor soul lost in the underworld. Dante stops and asks these individuals what they did to deserve such punishment, and therefore as he travels he is increasingly made aware of God’s Wrath and the folly of

Dante has a unique style of writing. Most unique to Dante is the terza rima. A terza rima is “composed of tercets woven into a rhyme scheme that requires the end-word of the second line in one tercet to supply the rhyme for the first and third lines in the following tercet” ( ). Not only does Dante create a unique style of poems, he also expresses religious beliefs through his

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 endless collection of knowledge, and subsequently draws a parallel that describes the experience in a further,

The story was written in the 1300’s all in Italian and later translated into English. Dante lived a tough life, even as a young child when he lost his mother and became exiled from his own hometown, Florence.

The book that left the resounding feelings of excitement and sorrow was Dante’s Inferno. Written at a time in his life filled with grief and displacement, with the feeling of betrayal looming over him, a glimpse of understanding starts to illuminate the first strands of his web.

In Dante’s, The Divine Comedy, Virgil leads Dante through the Inferno, where Dante undergoes changes in his compassion. I am going to argue that Dante expresses less compassion during his journey when Virgil leads him through the Inferno. This essay will prove how Dante shows more feelings at the beginning of the Inferno compared to the end of the Inferno.
