La Commedia, L'inferno

Because no one'd believe in good if they didn't fear hell

It seems someone read Sandman.

So many great authors are Dante shills. Especially the Inferno.

*god

Fuck that shitty, feminist rip-off of Swamp Thing. Jesus, i get so angry when Death appears, Gayman obviously wrote her with a hand on his dick

>>9632838
its not, it's just more popular by plebs who seize on
>muh horrible punishments
for normie mass culture/media

>Why is the inferno held in so much higher regard than Purgatorio and Paradiso?

Probably because the poetry and the themes are easier (still great).
But nobody who knows anything of literature really thinks that the Inferno is the best part of the Comedy because as a poem the Comedy is very coherent, you may have a favourite part (for me it is the Purgatorio), but you can't disregard the rest or you'll lose most of it.

op here, i agree. I read the Commedia without expecting much of anything, but was surprised by the poetic depth of it and its choherent beauty.Though I disagree with most views presented, I still appreciate its beauty

L AMOUR CHE MUOVE LA SOLLE DE LATRE STELLE
and ending of purgatory
It was very beautiful but i cant tell why exactly

>>9632838
Did you know that in Ulysses Bloom and Daedalus emerge into the stars from Bloom's house. Sort of like Dante and his guide.

the idea of christendom is beautiful all through, but if you queston it with any rationality, it doesn't hold up as a life concept. I appreciate christendom for its beauty and the art it has inspired, but would never call myself religious.

>>9632838
Because it's the first part and people got bored by the end of it.

>>9633071
Absolutely disgusting anon, thinking for even a second you can rationalize the mind of God and His works.

>>9633081
enlighten me then

>>9633086
Yer supposed to ask God for that idjit.

>Why is the inferno held in so much higher regard than Purgatorio and Paradiso?

citation needed...it's probably because people are lazy

Borges calls the entire trilogy "the best book we have"...Eliot and Joyce praise Dante as best after Shakespeare, do you think it's just because of one fucking volume?

La Commedia is supposed to follow a climax senpai, it's just that more people have read the Inferno, as it is easier than the Purgatorio (which is easier than the Paradiso). Basically, >>9632969
