What is Dante's attitude toward the Catholic Church? How does he reveal his attitude?
Definition
Dante believes the Catholic Church has become corrupt. His attitude and feelings in accordance to the Catholic Church are those of anger, rage, and disappointment. He does not agree with the Catholic Chuch and we see this revealed when he makes it his mission to repair the Catholic Church as he journeys through Circle 6. He reveals his attitude of the Catholic Church through the punishments and simonists recieve. When Dante enters this circle, he sees Pope Nicolas III plunged head-first within a baptismal font with just his feet exposed. His feet are then whipped by flames of fire. The baptismal fonts are symbolic of the corruption of the Catholic Church, since the simonists aided in this corruption
Term
Dante attempts to hold on to hope. Now that you have completed the Inferno, specifically, what is his hope, and how is it revealed to the audience?
Definition
As Dante journeys throughout the Inferno, he struggles but manages to hold on to hope. Now that I have completed the Inferno, I believe his hope is in a sense his second chance at life, or salvation. The fact that Dante is a still-living soul gives him hope in it of itself. This is revealed when he leaves within hell are no longer able to leave a mark, Dante is. This helps to bring Dante hope because even though he has seen the horrible sins and punishments within hell, he can still rescue himself from spending eternity with the other sinners he meets. he ultimate hope Dante longs for is the chance to return to the "good" path and eventually spend eternity with God in paradise. This is foreshadowed in the Inferno when after leaving Hell, Dante sees the stars and the reality of God's beauty and grace is revealed.
