    Comedy's back then were different.

    Basically they had "happy" endings.

    Tragedies had sad endings.

    Those were the only two genres back then.

  • The accent is dragging me away from the story :D HOT!

  • This one is worded a little differently than I remember.

  • NEED HELP

    which one should I choose John Ciardi or Guatave Dore translation of the book. They both seem really good.

  • @aadeeza hater? what are you talking about?

  • @vilandra09 that's a fault in you. not in the work. but being child of the digital age, your attention span is likely less than hat of a gnat. as is your brain capacity.

  • @ladynimue86 h8ters gonna hate

  • @Lu31cons forse se tu avessi letto con più attenzione il nickname....comunque sia....va bene è ok. Ti auguro una buona giornata, ciao.

  • @jaaestes you have to read it much more slowly than the way you read prose, you have to imagine what each verse says ("translate" the poetry to prose) and only then continue reading... it is a great work, but personally I think Dante diminished its value by putting his own enemies in certain circles, as well as his lady in paradise...makes it a lot harder to get pulled in by the story

  • @vilandra09 scusami se non ho il dono di vedere chi s'è al di là di uno schermo del computer!

  • @Lu31cons solA sono una lei.....
