What's your favorite part about Dante's Inferno, user? Do you actually like it, or The Divine Comedy in total?

Do you not think his idea about contrapasso gets a bit silly after a while?

The only interesting part imo is the inferno, the rest is pretty tiresome and repetitive.

People who read just the Inferno and not the rest of the comedy need to go back to redd*t

>wahhh i'm so patrician i watch the entire porno and don't just skip to the cum shot
Hope you enjoy those hours and hours of foreplay, nobleman.

I unironically enjoy the plot of pornos though

There's like a plebeian equilibrium principle operating on Veeky Forums. Every conversation descends to the lowest common denominator because no one has actually read the books.

This entire thread is just going to be people talking about whether you should only read Inferno or if you should also read the other parts, because that discussion is easy to have even when you haven't read the books, or have only read Inferno, or once skimmed the thing and barely remember it. Everyone can have an opinion
>Uh I think you should definitely read the whole thing :/....
>No way!! The Paradiso is boring :P!! lol

Not once will anyone actually say an actual thing about the fucking book

>no one has actually read

Stopped reading there tbqhfam

I remember liking Purgatorio the most tb h

This. I mostly fap to lesbians and sometimes the seduction scene turns me on a lot more than the actual sexual intercouse.

This. Purgatorio has the greatest climax in all of Western literature. Dante and Virgil meeting Statius, Arnaut Daniel's beautiful speech in Occitan, then the incredible scene in the Garden of Eden with this magisterial procession of the history of the Church. And then Beatrice arrives at the same time Virgil departs, the most powerful and heartbreaking moment I've ever read.

As for the Inferno, Paolo and Francesca in the circle of lust is great, so is the forest of suicides and the extraordinary metamorphosis scene in Canto XXV. Also when Virgil negotiates with the demons for passage in the malebolge. Virgil is one of my favourite characters in literature.

yup and
yup

Purgatorio far exceeds Inferno far exceeds Paradiso.

Is it just me or were the punishments in purgatory worse than those (for the most part in hell)? I suppose he's trying to say that if you can endure those struggles you're more deserving?

I think the main difference is that one is eternal and the other promises heaven afterwards.

>Judas being eaten
Wew lad... Judas did nothing wrong. His actions were planned and necessary. He is most definitely sitting on the right hand of God. He is still the most loved of all the disciples.

>there is no free will

ok pal

I really enjoyed the language, I have the Longfellow translation and think it's great. Though it does get silly how he finds 101 ways to use "dole."

The conversations with certain sinners is intriguing and makes the experience feel more personal.

I read the inferno and found it to be boring. I mean... Some of his sentences were quite poetic an the start is a classic. However it got repitive real fast like: Look how bad this place is at hell. And all the dudes in there were just random people from Italy at that time.

>the most powerful and heartbreaking moment I've ever read.
This man knows. Many feels. Fuck Beatrice, I want my virgilian bromance back.

Purgatorio>Paradiso>Inferno
