Sower

To merely say that Dante was interested in the world of hell would be an understatement. His needs to explore and write about the nine different realms could best be described as an obsession. It’s an adventure, a tale, a dream (or nightmare) of different historical, biblical, and Greek gods and creatures living their lives in the afterlife of the underground world. Each level has its own form of punishment fitting the crime one has committed. Level one, Limbo: for those who have not

The Renaissance and the Reformation acted as a rebirth. This included the rebirth of art, education, Greek and Roman values, and religion. An important part of the rebirth is art. This played a big role in the rebirth of the middle ages. The rebirth of art shows the rebirth of technology with Raphael and Michelangelo which allowed them to portray reality.

All that my father has is mine, that is why I said the Spirit will take what I give him and tell it to you” (John 16: 12-15). In the parable of the sower, our Lord Jesus- Christ gave four categories of Christians concerning the word of God (Luke 8:4-8, 11-15). First category: Some of the seed fell along the path, where it was stepped on, and birds ate it up. These are those who hear but the devil comes

One part of this depiction is his descriptions of the various punishments that each of the different sinners has received.  The various punishments that Dante envisions the sinners receiving are broken down into two types. The first type he borrows from various gruesome and cruel forms of torture and the second type, though often less physically agonizing, is Dante’s creative and imaginative

To find out that the people who you thought were your parents really are not your parents can really have an impact on your life. But to find out that the man you killed was your real father and the lady you married and had children with was you real mother on top of that can cause a tragic downfall.

Robinson Crusoe and God   As Robinson Crusoe salvages anything useful for his subsistence off of the shipwreck, he alludes to his materialism. "...O Drug!.. what art thou good for, thou art not worth to me, no not the taking off of the ground, one of those knives is worth all this heap, I have no manner of use for thee, e'en remain where thou art, and go to the bottom as a creature whose life is not worth saving...

exact thing that Teiresias told Oedipus. “ I say you are the murderer of the king whose murderer you seek…. He shall be proven father and brother both to his own children in his own house; her that gave him birth, a son and a husband both; a fellow sower in his father's bed with the same father that he murdered” It is not pure coincidence that Oedipus; having heard this from two different oracles, and jocasta hearing it from a completely different person; no, it is fate itself showing that no one can
