The Gates of Hell

Depictions of Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy in the Sculptural Motivations of Auguste Rodin’s Gates of Hell. The primary motivation for Auguste Rodin’s Gates of Hell are based on the desire to interpret Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy through amore individual response to the text. Rodin avoided a traditional interpretation of Dante’s narrative by creating his own form of chaotic view of hell through a modern 19th century perspective. During this the middle to late 19th century, Rodin sought

Tokyo, and Raleigh. What is even more interesting is that many of Rodin’s pieces were designed to be part of a single great piece, a massive pair of doors, intended for an art museum that grew into something much more. This piece is Rodin’s Gates of Hell. The gates are particularly significant to the world of art, not only for the sculptural mastery they display, but also for being a rather revolutionary piece in regards to the physical build and the emotion provocation. They display the characteristic

a tale of Dante who, with the aid of Virgil, descend through the circles of hell. It is within the story of The Inferno that I found a piece that interested me enough to write my paper on. The piece I found most appealing is the eighth canto which describes Dante’s experience while traveling through the fifth circle of hell. The detail and scenery spark an immediate interest. The river Styx, the lost souls, and the gates to the city of Dis all serve as a rich environment for the reader to imagine

“uncommitted” are people who didn’t believe in heaven or hell nor God or Satan. The “uncommitted” were seen as not living because they didn’t ever believe in any God or Devil so as punishment they couldn’t be sent to heaven or hell so the “uncommitted” were sent outside the gates of hell.

Hell, the fiery eternal abyss has had profound influence on almost every aspect in our modern world. Paintings and sculpture have been great tools to help us envision the realm of suffering. One of these great sculptures is called the Gates of Hell, created by Auguste Rodin who was influenced by Dante Alighieri’s, Inferno.

In Macbeth, the scene “The Knocking at the Gate” is debated whether the Porter’s common references to the devil and his annoyance with the equivocator have a dramatic effect on the story, or if his drunkenness adds comic relief after the death of Duncan. In the beginning of the scene, the Porter is already making references to the devil when he hears knocking at the gate. “Here’s a knocking indeed! If a man were porter of hell/ gate, he should have old turning the key, knock/ knock, knock! Who’s

Afterlife People are always questioning whether Hell and Heaven are real or not. The thought of an afterlife is something every human thinks about. In Core 3 we read many books, one being Virgil’s The Aeneid, and another being Homer’s The Odyssey. Both books have to do with men attempting to complete a journey. Both books involve the Trojan War and journeys across roaring seas. During each book, the men enter the afterlife with a guide to help them through Hell, and each author gives their own thoughts

you turn and question God and assume that he hates you. You forget that God knows everything and has a plan. But what sometimes people do not realize is that the gate is always open (God will always be there). We are trapping ourselves in our own hell. That is exactly what Satan is doing. Satan is making Hell worse for himself (yes, hell

essays started booming during the twelfth centaury. From these great works we have Dante’s Divine comedy. In Dante’s comedy we have three parts that elaborate his journey through The Inferno, Pulgatorio, and lastly Paraiso. Dante’s portrayal of Hell in the Inferno is an undisputed masterpiece of visual and allegorical imagery, enriched not only by extensive use of figurative language, but by concrete physical descriptions as well. With his vivid and extensive imagery we will see Dante draws themes
