• The word comes from Italian, meaning "song" or singing.

• Our story is divided into short divisions or “cantos”.

The Protagonist• Durante Degli Alighieri

• Known as the Father of the Italian Language• Not the video game character some of you are familiar with.

• Was exiled from his home city of Florence after making some powerful people upset• Therefore, most of the people “suffering” in the inferno are people that he knew and didn’t

like or celebrities that he knew of and didn’t like.

• Stay Ready Challenge: Why Did Martin Luther (not the King) protest against the Catholic Church?

The Guide • Publius Vergilius Maro (Best known as Virgil)

• Considered one of Rome’s greatest poets and most virtuous citizens.

• Died BEFORE Christ was born…this is I2K (Important 2 Know)

• Never knew Dante in REAL life• Dante looked up to him which is WHY he’s his guide through The Inferno.

I2K – What’s an Allegory?

•Allegory - a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one.

•The Inferno is an allegorical poem…•Dante represents The Everyman trying to find the right path.•The Lion, Leopard, and She-Wolf represent sins on the hill preventing Dante from making it to the light.

Where The “Bad Things” Are• The Truth about Consequence (What is punishment or Hell like in various

religions)• In Islam…there’s a FIERY hell• In Judaism…there’s an INTENSE FEELING of shame for turning away from

G-d• In Buddhism…there is endless suffering…but as usual, a chance for

REBIRTH• Ancient Taoism…has NO CONCEPT of Hell• In Wicca…there is NO SUCH THING as Hell as there is no concept of

punishment or reward.• In Native African traditions…Hell is simply WANDERING souls on Earth

unable to make it to G-d• In Native Asian traditions…Hell is an underground, uninviting WET place

for sinful people

• SWBAT reason the measure and precision of punishment as provided by G-d in Dante’s poem. (The perfection of punishment)

Different Levels to This!

Level of Hell

1.Anti-Inferno

2.First Circle of Hell (Limbo)

3.Second Circle of Hell (Lust)

4.Third Circle of Hell (Gluttony)

Punishment1.Bitten by flies and

wasps; Worms consume their blood and tears.

2.Meaningless Existence (Nothing)

3.Continuous wind, rain, and stormy weather; Also, lying still in darkness

4.Stink; Rain filled with filth and poop (sewage)

THEME ALERT!! • G-d’s perfect and precise punishment is a key theme in Dante’s Inferno.

• Examples:• The Lustful, those who were obsessed with the stimulation of the flesh in life, now have

their nerves unceasingly stimulated by the storm. • Also, they lie prone and in the dark—the conditions in which acts of lust generally take place.

• The Gluttonous, those who excessively pursued pleasure in life now lie in an overabundance of that which disgusts. • The excrement that douses them is both the product of their greedy and wasteful consumption.

Today we see…• The Fourth Circle of Hell… Selfish & Squanderers• The Avaricious & The Prodigal

• The Fifth Circle of Hell…Wrathful• Those who were consumed with Anger

• Dis aka Lower Hell

• The Sixth Circle of Hell …Heretics• The people that teach, believe in, or go against the teachings of G-d

Be Prepared for Dante Charades

•If we have time…•You will act out a punishment or sin and the group will have to guess which level they are witnessing•Students may work with partners•The team that guesses correctly will receive extra points.

Thursday – Silent Independent Read

While reading, consider the punishments present

and mentally prepare/plan for your potential charades.

Dante Charades!

•You will be called up one pair at a time, and assigned a sin or punishment.•You will have 2 min. to act out your charade.•The first group to answer which LEVEL we’re witnessing correctly gets the point AS WELL AS the group that acted so precisely.

END – 11.7.2013

How is the punishment of the selfish and the squanderers OR

the wrathful appropriate for their sins? Explain in extreme

detail.
