I can see how this third of the Divine Comedy is the favorite in pop culture. The depiction of hell is fascinating in its personalized punishment for each shade in hell.
However, this story is actually pretty simple. A man goes through hell to fully understand the punishment of sin to achieve grace and find his way. In review, this story is actually just a pro-Christian tale justifying God’s justice and, particularly in Inferno, warning against sinful behavior.
The language—despite being a 90s translation (Pinsky)—was a bit of a challenge to interpret, perhaps due to the new verse translation. The translation maintained the poetic form, but any rhyming was a stretch and was unsatisfying.
P.S. Wow guys Dante and Vergil aren’t what I expected from modern-day Inferno adaptations *cough* Devil May Cry *cough* Vergil did NOT bury the light 0/5 stars 👎
