  • "Readers in small boats with small minds should turn back now."

    -Dante

  • But in Paradiso, it is Beatrice (illumined mind) who leads him, not Virgil (earthly mind). The Divine Comedy is replete with numerological symbolism that allows for further understanding of what is presented, the number of cantos, the number of verses, the construction of the spheres, and so on. To me, Dante is occult literature! hehe (^_^)

  • @CharasDub

    Grazie al tuo cammin di vita :) (no I don't know Italian or Floentin but I have PATTERN RECOGNITION abilities). Awesome comment.

  • Is there a continuation to this?

  • I like the story of Dante and ET and at 4:33 I was about laugh cuss it remind me of WT on d bike lol

  • Dante must have been on a fuckload of drugs to see this shit... This comes from somebody who grew up in Italy and had to learn every single canto of this... Paraphrasing antique italian is a bitch

  • @ 4:35 when they fly across the moon it reminds me of ET on the bike LOL

  • @krumovies26= Dante Hicks, from Clerks was named after Dante. The store is like Hell for him.

  • I literally stumbled on this video at exactly the same time I am currently reading this same part of the book (talk about self arising complex systems)I I have ACCELERATORPLUS 107 videos playing on auto coincidentally.

  • I first read The Inferno in high school and loved it ever since. I recently made a film based on the poem for a college assignment. It's called "Dante Alighieri's Divine Standup Comedy" and it's on my channel if you're interested in a more humorous version of the Divine Comedy.

  • This film is incredible! It looks like a program you'd see on the History Channel. This might be the closest we'll come to seeing an actual film adaptation of the Divine Comedy.

    I have to admit though, I heard the E.T. theme in my head at 4:35.

  • @xxsadiexxannxx Yes you can use it in your college work. In fact, if you like, I can send you a DVD of the whole film. Just let me know your address through my channel. Good luck wit hthe college work. Jim Burge
