~Okay, so these thesis logs may be all over the place at times because I handwrote some stuff, then read further and added onto my thoughts in these blogs.
"The pain you suffer here perhaps disfigures you beyond all recognition..."(Canto VI) The pain described that the man is feeling in hell, is pain that many feel here on earth. As I keep reading I think of struggles could dante have possibly went through to be able to write with such depth of feelings such as this despair. Although most of these sins are in the bible I get the feeling that some are only his interpretation and experiences from rotten people. Maybe dante had a bad life and expressed his feelings in this book. I dont know if im right on or even close, but he writes these feelings so vividly and as if some of these lines are really written from the heart of someone who's felt firsthand.
