5/5, parce que je n'ai clairement pas les compétences pour juger un classique majeur de la langue italienne !
Mais je vais quand même donner mon ressenti pour les différentes parties :
L'Enfer : la partie que j'ai préférée. Dante y critique beaucoup ses contemporains. (On pourra peut-être y noter son acharnement sur le pape Boniface)
Le Purgatoire : j'ai bien aimé aussi. On en apprend beaucoup sur la société de l'époque.
Le Paradis : la partie que j'ai le moins aimée, probablement parce qu'elle ressemblait trop à un cours de catéchisme. Ce qui m'intéressait très peu.

It's good for sure, but it didn't really capture me. The poetry is beautiful, but my mind oftened wandered elsewhere as I read it. But I did finish it, so that has to count for something right?
I feel weird giving a major classic three stars, but also . . . I did not especially enjoy it? So. Yes.

finally found a book that feels like a full new season of Riverdale
Inferno - 5 stars easily, it just gets very repetetivr
i love patterns intertextuality contexts personal feuds solved by putting your enemies in imaginary hell and author's other delusions

Someone forgot to explain to Dante that we write to show not tell.
Actually my second reading of this (I must have accidentally logged a different version on here last time). I still feel like there's a lot of Florentine political and current events references I'm not getting (Google can only do so much here), but I'm really struck by how vivid Dante's descriptions are. It's really quite imaginative, and that helps prevent it from feeling too formulaic as you delve deeper and deeper into the pits of Hell.
I have not yet read the other two parts (part of why I re-read the first one), and I'm really curious to see if the observations here play off of what he finds in Purgatory and Heaven. But the biggest thing I noted here is how the sins of the people he meets continue in perpetuity. Those who sow discord continue to tear each other apart, for example. That's a very notable observation (and I think a sound one) related to the interplay of grace and justice and the question of "how could a good God send sinners to Hell?"
Not that every interaction meets this sort of didactic theme, mind you. But it's something that stuck out to me.
