Wild, I need to read this again because so much of it went over my head. Really strange imagery though. Dante definitely had a huge crush on Virgil.

Imagery is fabulous, while sometimes difficult to comprehend the relevance of the figures mentioned or encountered by Dante and Virgil, the footnotes helped significantly. Would have loved some more Lucifer/Judas/Dis interaction.

What in the white christian indoctrination?!
Read this because “one must,” and I suspect “one” means average boy who hasn’t reflected on the purpose of life and community.

1.25 cause the reading was dramatic.

The illustrations were amazing. The book gives you lots to ponder. A must read for any religious folks. It’s absolutely amazing how timeless the work is. Also a really easy classic to get through
