    -Wrote a self insert story
    -Where he hangs out with a personal hero of his
    -And is on a quest to meet his waifu
    -The story is loosely based on existing media (The Abrahamic mythos)
    -And everyone who disagrees with him are roasting in Hell for all time
    This is technically fan fiction.

      We also have a version of Joe Joe Bizzarre adventure: Orlando Furioso. My favourite part is when his girl cheats on him, the dude gets lunatic and , destroys an entire forest. This forces a friend of his to take a griffin and fly to the moon(luna in italian) where the sanity of Orlando is stored in an ampoule. One of the coolest aspect is that the moon is filled with creatures, basically the author was imagining aliens back in 1500s. It is a very important part of our literature that doesn't get much attention, because of course dante does.

    As an Italian myself, who was born and lives in Florence and takes Dante (the greatest poet in Italian literature and one among the greatest in all of literature in general) and his Divina Commedia as a source of infinite pride, I have to say you guys have done a fantastic job, especially when it comes to the *amazing* artwork you made.
    When it comes to the narration, it was a bit shallow, but that's not to take anything whatsoever away from all the work you put into this: The Divine Comedy is so rich, complex, majestic, packed with analogies and lessons on life and Christian faith, that a UA-cam video would have to be a week long just to fully explain Inferno alone.
    You guys told this story as a fairytale, and that's totally ok.
    However, we must not forget that the Comedy is *way* more than just a good story: it is a lesson of life, an insight to Dante's voyage, from the beginning in the dark forest, which represents his mid-life crisis, to the Highest Skies of Heaven, where Dante finally meets the Heavenly Light of God and finds the Faith he had lost.
    The Comedy shows us the corruption of Society, as Dante puts both politicians and clerks in Hell alike and doesn't shy away from expressing his political views.
    The Comedy is a pearl of literature, the meaning of which goes way deeper than you think.
    Can't wait for part 2 & 3 ❤️

      @@smithsoniansmith2433 Hello, I simply agreed with my fellow Italian countryman after reading his comment. As far as been a good companion to the Bible I'm not so sure about it; personally I like to think that the whole Divine Commedy is a metaphor, in fact I see it as an inner journey of each individual who can transcend himself going through the darkness within living his own personal "hell" and by doing that one can find peace and rise up to the highest peaks reaching "heaven". So basically, in my opinion, Hell and Heaven should be seen as inner conditions rather than physical places. Hope I made my point clear :)

    It's also important to underline the extraordinariness of the Divine Comedy from a linguistic point of view.
    The entire work is written in the style of a poem. Every verse has the same number of syllables, eleven, every single one of them. All verses of the entire masterpiece are grouped in blocks of three (called "terzine", like little thirds). The terzine have a very strict and complex rhyme scheme: ABA BCB CDC EDE and so on. This creates in the reader a feeling of flow of verses which is impossible to recreate in any translation.

    The first fan fiction from Dante. Of course he feels a "connection" to Virgil what with Virgil being Dantes literal man crush and all time hero. His one issue is his hatred for Greek mythical hero's and his total loyalty to all Roman heroes.

But you mustn’t stop there. Purgatory & Paradise are necessary to understand the entire piece. It is a lengthy read as it is full of unfamiliar language. You will be able to understand it, but you won’t be able to just skim through. Patience and time are required.

For example, in the lust circle, people were being pushed by this strong wind and they couldn’t help but follow the direction the wind was blowing into, this is because during their lives, they couldn’t resist the lust and they followed their passion. Now the wind is pushing them just like their lust did. Hope you understood✨

    Thank you so much for doing "The Divine Comedy" ! I've always wanted to read the entire thing but was never able to. I have a problem with my eyes now and can't read for very much longer than ten minutes. I've been trying to listen to it on an audio book but all the ones I can find are either dramatized or have different people reading it. It's frustrating having so many different people reading a canto or two which makes it hard to concentrate on what each is reading because of the different tones or influx that every person uniquely has. You are able to summerize this tale without leaving important pieces, or even just interesting parts out of it. That certainly isn't easy for a story like this! I love this channel! Not just for the content but also for your voice. It is very easy to listen to and your wit and sarcasm always seems to pop up at just the right time! Thank you for making such a great channel!

      Played it myself a couple of times and enjoyed it, but it's in now way an "impressive adaptation" of Dante's Inferno.
      For starters, the whole context is a series of fakes, movie clichés and anachronisms. Dante was never a crusader, he and Beatrice weren't lovers, and there's no indication that his father was a evil fatso who sexually assaulted her.
      Second, the whole thing about saving Beatrice from Lucifer's plan to make her his hellish spouse is nonsense, it's not what the poem is about at all.
      Third, while the game is visually very impressive up until the circle of Violence, the next one, Fraud, which takes up 13 of 34 canti in the poem (many among the most memorable), is just a series of grindy combat challenges in copy-pasted arenas, with no characterization whatsoever. Treachery is also very brief, as the game clearly spent most of its production design budget on the circles of Incontinence.
      So overall, it gives a skewed perception of how the cantica is structured.
      It's a fun hack-and-slash title, but please don't play it thinking it's in any way an adaptation of the poem.

      I think you might be referring to Dan Brown's work? 🤔

      Do it man, but be ready to read the same page at least 2 times to understand anything, it’s a slow read but it gives so much, no other book will make your brain work so beautifully. My advice to make it more enjoyable, do it outside, on a sunny day, while listening to some good music, it’ll give you a really special experience.

      Unfortunately you'll never see that one.
      However if you're patientand wait a little longer, you'll be able to watch "Dante's Purgatory - A Summary of the Divine Comedy Pt. 2"

    everyone always quote the first half but no one want to show up for the sequels

      The Inferno isn't the first half but the first third.

      Paradiso is the best part imo, but the whole thing is a masterpiece

      Neverender sure is. It’s the start of modern fiction.

    I was trying to find the 2nd part of this video thinking that it was one of the old YT recommendation. Had to check the date and booyah, was just recently uploaded. Will wait for the part 2!
