Simple notes to help me keep track (useful to me):
Dante's starts in purgatory
Moves on to level 2 which is lust
The 3rd level contained Cerberus the 3 headed dog and gluttony aka light greed
The 4th level is greed
The 5th level is anger and wrath
The 6th level is hertics or those who follow faith wrong the city of dis
I have just finished reading Dante's Inferno part A. These notes will be based on the project I have chosen to do. The story start off with Dante in a Forest trying to ascend to heaven up a mountain from what I understood. He find the path impossible so he stay where he is at until virgil comes along to show him there is another way and to follow him. He leads dante to the entrance of hell and will guide him through. I would change my guide to a jewish person for it has great biblical irony for in the jewish faith one does not believe in hell. I not sure because i do not want to offend by doing this. I would write my first part of my story to include the first 4 levels of hell. I would start of with a quick intro to purgatory for there is not a whole to lot to say. I would say a lot for the 2nd level which is lust. For the 3rd and 4th level intertwine the two for they are so similar. I would hit a 2 for one. I would write these in a way for modern audiences to understand with what modern sin would have you in that level and name some modern people who are there. I would also put a twist on the punishment for the people in these places. The second part of my story would include the 5th and 6th levels of hell for their are many things that I could write about in modern day to be a part of these levels of hell and many people who could be used as examples of those who dwell on those levels. Putting the modern twist on punishment and people would be the goal to make the story my own.
