Divine Comedy

>Divine Comedy
>not funny

>The Birth of Tragedy
>Tragedy was never born it has always existed
Guh

The real comedy is our existence.

>Infinite Jest
>finite

Every birth is a tragedy.

La Divina commedia è anche divertente, it's also funny, specialmente le cantiche dell'inferno.

meant to quote

you don't think demons making bugle calls by farting into their trumpets is funny?

how about gluttons wallowing eternally in their own shit and piss?

>the outsider
>most scenes occur inside

>The Book of Job
>the main character quickly becomes unemployed

her vagina is a bit strange. not in a bad way

not really

I came here to post this. Malebolge best circle.

well ok then

demons don't do that though.
'ed egli avea del cul fatto trombetta' literally translates to 'and he had made a trumpet out of his ass'.
i'll leave the conclusions to your imagination.

I think it's the stuble on her pubis that makes it looks elongated.

I wonder who has it psychologically worst between a 1st world intellect and a 3rd world man.

Veeky Forums is where the finite becomes infinite.

>The Grapes Of Wrath

It doesn't have to be funny all the way through to be a funny piece.

He's talking about Knausgaard's autobiographical series called "My Struggle."

Would recommend, user.

It's supposed to be like the punishment God gave to Sodom and Gomorrah, fire raining from the sky. Or some shit like that.

This post was not funny.

Thank You, I almost thought it was.

>symbolism
guess you haven't read inferno then
it's mostly dante just making up different torture techniques or wacky scenarios and putting people he didn't like in them

greedy people gotta play a weird sport where they roll boulders down a hill at eachother

for eternity explain the symbolism in that to me

What they're doing is fruitless. Acquiring wealth in moderation is a virtue. Hoarding wealth is a waste. Like pushing stones at one another.

>the color out of space
>it came out from the well

wow, deep. there should be one where atheists wrap their nuts in salami and let dogs bite them because not worshipping god is fruitless and only serves to hurt you

Dude you're retarded. He met lots of people he loved in hell. Also the Inferno is very symbolic. You could dismiss symbolism in any other book as >loldeep, but it is obvious that the Inferno has symbolic elements.

Is the film good?

Pretty sure atheists wouldn't even make it into the first circle. I think Dante included them with the Futile, doomed to run around chasing after a white flag outside the gates of Hell forever, but's been a decade since I read the thing.

>The annals
>no sex at all

topest of keks

This is the best kind of bait because I know these people exist

Cringed

what's wrong with symbolism?

>the Stranger
>the main character is actually known by other characters

end of the tour? yeah. but any associations with IJ are superficial so keep that in mind. and if you're expecting a good portrait of dfw, dont. but yeah decent flick on relationship dynamics of an interview, etc.

yeah it's fine fuck it

They are in a barren desert because they were not reproductive.

Boohoo, let's all curl up in a ball and drink ourselves to death.

atheists were in the first circle dummy

Dante was sick. I mean Divine Comedy=not funny, hello? I thought it was the fucking best comedy of all time, thats why they named it Divine
