Sinopse

In this lecture, we conclude Dante's "Inferno". First (a) we climb down and then up Satan's legs and explain the "reorienting" nature of the journey and transition between hemispheres; (b) we consider Dante's view, allegorically interpreted, of the source of all evil, and (c) we observe Dante and Virgil's emergence outside again where they can, allegorically and literally interpreted, contemplate the stars together. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/support
