Thesis Log #2

Continuing with my reading, i noticed a word that was mentioned more than once. Coward. Bigger than simply a word, coward, cowardly, cowardice is a message. As a person, i dont particuarly respect people holding that virtue, and in those years and even further back it perhaps never was. Is a person that spent their life in fear and cowardly behavior, worthy of a circle of hell? What is a coward? someone who is constantly fearful? just off the top of my head, cowardice is worthy of hell because as a believer of god, faith is supposed to play in before fear. faith that god will take care of you in any situation is supposed to if not relieve you, keep you going despite the fear you may have. "Do not let fear defeat you, for whatever be his power, he cannot stop out journey down this rock." (Canto VII)
