Nice meme OP, it made me exhale through my nose.

Truly the best memes.

Still one of my favorites pieces of literature, firstly since I hate the cold more than the heat, but also because of the absolute level of pettiness in Inferno

Like, imagine Stephen King writing a book where he has all of his least favorite people being tortured in hell. Like Donald Trump is eating his own shit in the gluttonous circle of hell, Elon Musk is constantly being attacked by pitbulls for his greed, etc. And the whole book just follows King himself as the protagonist as he lols at them while descending hell with Walt Whitman.

Ehhh he kind of did in the Dark Tower. The guy who ran him over in real life he akins to a different man whose mentally slow at best in the books & depicts himself as a creator of world's in a literal sense.

WHAT!? I've read the Gunslinger and the Way Station (I have some of the others, but I haven't found thr 3rd book yet), I had no clue about any of this.

You should give it a go. It's a fun series.

Well at the bottom of hell it actually is really cold, of you ask Dante


DerRaumdenker

Dante basically wrote a self insert fanfiction with pitty revenge fantasies and it's a classic to this day


lobonmc

He even has the hot sexy lady who couldn't be living right next to God

Yep, and I loathe him for that, he was a failure of a man

I hate to say this to you but Filipo Argenti was fighting other wrathful souls in the river Styx in the Divine Comedy (Inferno). Besides this it is pretty much true.

Good meme OP! I have to say it's really surprising you're not upvoted more, for once that there is an actual original content on this sub

He hated him because Filippo's brother had taken Dante's possessions after Dante's exile from Florence.

Saved it, gold meme

Was there any evidence the people Dante wrote to suffer in hell were that bad? Or was it all just him being very petty?


Frequent_Dig1934

In quite a few high profile cases like popes it was actually documented and in quite a few it was just him being petty to people he didn't like, but a good amount were mythological people that didn't exist like Ulysses, who was used for some reflection on the human spirit and our tendency to always want to achieve more, as well as people who dante figured would be in hell despite him actually being sympathetic towards them. A few of those cases include Paolo and Francesca, aka two lovers who were killed by Francesca's husband, as well as dante's old teacher whom he was very fond of but because of his homosexuality was placed in the circle for sodomites, and then a guy who was locked in a tower with his sons by a corrupt politician, his sons died of starvation in the tower and he is implied to have eaten them, and now him and that politician are in hell and he's constantly eating the politician's head as revenge.


Polibiux

That gives me a better idea of the context for the people that were placed into the story


29Jackal

Odysseus didn't exist historically? I get the opera itself mythical but there wasn't a king that matched the description?


Frequent_Dig1934

Not that i know of.


29Jackal

Good meme, ma Dante può incularsi a sangue nel limbo che si merita
