Assignment for week 5 Dante's Inferno
(1) For week of Dec. 10-16 you are to reread Cantos 1-11 primarily to see if you enjoy them more after having dissected them a little. Put them all together and see what you think.
(2) You are also supposed to read chapter 3 in Ascent to Love
(3) As you read I want you to especially pay attention to the punishments you have seen thus far. In the footnotes of the Inferno, page 340, starting on line 2 “contrapasso” is talked about. We have talked about this in class. Leithart on page 86 discusses 3 types of punishment. See if you can relate these ideas to the punishments thus far in the inferno.
(4) Come armed with any questions you have on the first 11 cantos. If you look at the schedule, you will see that we will be moving through the Inferno faster after Christmas.
