Presentation transcript:

Dante’s Inferno by Dante Alighieri ( )  One of the greatest poets in the Italian language  One member of the classic trio of Italian authors (along with Boccaccio and Petrarch)

Dante Alighieri  Dante was in love with Beatrice from the first time he saw her.  Beatrice serves as his guardian angel in The Divine Comedy, assisting Virgil in leading Dante through the Inferno.

Dante Alighieri  Dante, a member of the White Guelfs, was opposed to Papal power and tended to favor the emperor.  Politics greatly influenced Dante’s literary and emotional life.

Dante Alighieri  Two political factions, the Black Guelfs and White Guelfs, were at war in Italy.  With the help of the French, the Black Guelfs seized power and exiled Dante, confiscated his goods and threatened to burn him if he returned to Florence.

Dante’s Writing Style  The first author to write in the vernacular Tuscan rather than Latin.  Used the “Terza Rime” rhyme scheme in which the 1 st and 3 rd lines of each triplet end in the same vowel sound.

“Terza Rime” Rhyme Scheme “Terza Rime” pronounced (TUR-ZAH REE-MUH) Tercet-Has three lines in each stanza (with an interlocking rhyme scheme The 2 nd line of each stanza rhymes with the 1 st and 3 rd line of the next stanza. Rhyme scheme: aba bcb cdc ded, etc.

Dante’s Inferno  Two opposing factions are struggling for dominance  The Guelfs – favored the Pope  The Ghibellines supported the Emperor (Imperial power)

Dante’s Inferno  The Guelf party was divided between the Blacks and the Whites.  Dante was a White Guelf.  The Black Guelfs seized power with the help of the French and the Pope; the Blacks exiled Dante, confiscated his goods, and condemned him to be burned if he returned.

Dante’s Inferno  The Inferno can be read as a piece of propaganda against Dante’s enemies (the Pope & the Black Guelfs), written to gratify himself, to denounce his enemies, and to gain a certain amount of revenge.  It is also a mystical religious poem.

Dante’s Inferno  Dante wanted very much to be acclaimed as a poet.  In Hell, he often offers to tell people on earth about the damned souls so that their memories will not be forgotten.

Dante’s Inferno  The Divine Comedy was Dante’s masterpiece.  This work would finally give him his place with Virgil and Homer.  Fame was a very important thing to Dante.
