The Gates of Hell

Alighieri in the early 1300s, discusses Dante’s journey through Hell. Dante is the protagonist in this comedy. While its genre is comedy, comedy during the middle ages was known to have a happy ending, Inferno has also been referenced to as an epic poem or a long narrative. The happy ending in Inferno or Dante’s other works in conjunction with Inferno would be Paradise or Heaven. Dante goes through his journey in hell with Virgil. Virgil is in Hell because he lived in a time before Christ appeared on Earth

doorway, named “The Gates of Hell”. Rodin created the piece based off of “The Inferno”, a section of the Divine Comedy. Dante Alighieri wrote his first section of the Epic to describe a soul to the journey onwards to Heaven. It starts with Dante in Hell, as he endures suffering and punishment, while being guided by a poet named Virgil. The Gates of Hell summarize the first third of the Divine Comedy effectively. This doorway includes The Thinker, who seems to be looking down on Hell or Inferno. Many

characters most vitally through Macbeth himself, but also through the fascinating character that is the Porter/Seyton. The playwright also develops an impeccably and overwhelmingly morbid overlying connection between Macbeth's life and the afterlife/hell, further emphasizing the dread that he associates with life. Shakespeare uses symbolism so thoughtfully in the play in order to talk about this dreadful perspective of life, to convey

Hell through Dante’s Eyes Upon entering an antechamber to hell, Dante and Virgil come upon large gates. Dante hears screams from souls that were damned and rejected by God, but also not accepted by hell. The “nowhere” souls are punished because of their refusal to make a choice in life. Tormented by flies and hornets on a furious pace forever, the souls are held captive by these large gates. Crossing through the gates, Dante and Virgil are met by the boatman Charon at the windy River Archeron. Rescinding

that means joining her in Hell. The gate is marked by vines clinging to the wall, leaves colored red in the gloom of the western sky. As the dying leaves are blown from the vines, they remind Luke of his love and strike him with the same force as the words he hears in his heart - his love calling to him. Night is approaching - "dark will end the dark" to remedy the night in Luke's eyes and spirit if he will follow the direction of the poem's voice by going to the west gate and listening for his love's

The different parts of Hell that Dante creates are used to accent his message, as well as make Hell more fascinating for the reader. In Inferno, Dante uses physical objects and appearances to convey his opinion about the severity of sins and the people who committed them. Hell itself is sorted into nine circles, with the gates to the City of Dis separating

Explaining and Discussing Dante’s Vision of Hell in The Inferno Dante’s explanation of Hell has fascinated many individuals by the way it is explained, and more than likely made many use their mind and overthink it. When readers confront The Inferno, they might be surprised or blown minded by the way Dante explains what he went through. Many people after reading this might have changed their way of thinking of Hell because of Dante’s lecture, or maybe some still thought the same. Not everyone

Possible Gas Recovery from Darvaza Crater Introduction Near a small village named Darweze (Darvaza in Russian meaning gate), there is a burning crater named as DOOR TO HELL or HELL’S GATE. In 1971 (when Turkmenistan was a part of Soviet Union) a group of Soviet geologists and engineers found a huge reservoir of natural gas, which was later found to be fifth largest in the world. A drilling rig was setup to extract it. Unfortunately, due to primitive technology survey of the ground was not proper

Virgil to help Dante through the trials that Dante faces in his journey. Virgil is a man who lives in the first circle of hell and is sent by Beatrice to help Dante get back on the path of righteousness. Virgil is a guide and teacher to Dante, who helps him travel through Hell and Purgatory to become one with God. Virgil’s duty in “The Divine Comedy” is to help guide Dante through Hell and Purgatory until he goes to Heaven and meets Beatrice. Beatrice is the angel who is trying to get Dante back on the

one of the biggest sculpture of its time and is the biggest sculpture of the gates of hell. Michelangelo was a huge inspiration of this piece, Rodin enjoyed the human aspects of his sculptures so he decided to also make this and many other sculptures nude. I think the Thinker was the best sculpture of its time because it was made for so many purposes but mostly because it was made to represent Dante at the gates of hell. Dante was a very popular poet of the late 1200’s, Rodin was a big fan of Dante
