Fun fact: in the book of Purgatory, Dante implies he himself will end up on the ledge that punishes people who were arrogant in life. So, he not only was full of himself, he happily embraced it
I thought of that too...he is narcissistic, judgemental, lacks true empathy to be honest...he only sympathizes with anyone who is from Rome, not even Italians in general 😂 or famous philosophers from ancient greece...who are still in hell.
@@jeffreyphillip936 no, he says he'll pass a lot of time in the frame of Pride in Purgatory The idea is that Purgatory is a temporary penitence for virtuous souls that aren't ready for Heaven when they die.
@@jeffreyphillip936 nope, not hell, he's too good for that. Guess he figured putting himself in heaven would've been a little too on the nose, so he settled for purgatory instead, which has ledges to climb to since it's a mountain
I can't lie, Satan being a 3-headed mountain sized monster chewing on the 3 biggest sinners of all time has got to be the best character design I've ever seen.
I'm currently studying Dante in college and what i got from Inferno is that it's 70% political symbolism, 10% religious beliefs and 20% virgin Dante vs. Gigachad Virgil
Audible has a great set of lectures on The Divine Comedy. Goes through the history of the period and the wider political system. Given by William R Cook and Ronald B Herzman. 8Hrs but worth it. Might be able to grab it on a trial of Audible and then cancel it?
This story would be a great concept for a story driven narrative game you are Dante wandering through hell progressively falling deeper into hell until you reach the center of hell and make your way all the way to paradise
@@Chillerll But the thing is those travellers either thought what they saw or experienced were actual monsters because of the gap in knowledge back then where they would attribute any unusual encounters with monsters, or they were half truths that are exaggerated to all hell and are presented as actual truth, The Divine Comedy isn't like this because it does not make any effort in presenting that it actually happened nor was Dante himself testifying what he wrote was true, it was still fiction when 'fiction' wasn't an established term
@@c731-enfiwhilst this may be true, Dante still wasn’t an originator of the self insert, as most medieval works either talk of generic knights, the round table, the fae, or (and this is the relevant one) stories that revolve around the person’s very fictional adventures with a religious character. This is not to say the divine comedy is bad, it’s actually completely amazing and very innovative, but the fact that it was a self insert fanfic isn’t the innovative part. Hope this helps. \(^o^)/
I love how while he's in the middle of hell he still takes the time to diss other cities in the real world. Like "yeah this is hell but you know what's worse? Los Angeles."
if you only knew, we have slurs for people from the other city, we dont have salt in our bread because of fucking pisa, we used to go to war over the most random bullshit
Wendigon I'm an English teacher in Chesapeake, Virginia. I was introducing The Inferno to my 27 seniors, and one of them told me about this video. She had just watched it a few days ago. We spent the last several days watching it, and WOW did it help prepare us for reading. AWESOME AWESOME work! Thanks for sharing!
@@claytonkickflip7595 Yeah, Wendigoon explained that in the video. I'm just saying that the context of the word "comedy" today still fits with the story of Dante's Inferno due to how hilarious Dante talks to the souls.
Don’t forget his very own Mary Sue angel Beatrice. A woman who he only met twice (first at 9 years old) with the meetings about 9 years apart, who married someone else. I don’t think they were ever romantically involved. But he held unrequited love his entire life. That is the ultimate fanfic move: turn your crush (who probably doesn’t know you exist) into a Perfect Mary Sue who is totally in love with you because you are soooo cool…
dante is a lot like chris chan, he paints himself as a man everyone loves and respects in his own story and includes lots of people he looks up to and knows in real life. he also punishes people he didn't like in real life, just like chris chan.
Fun fact: the Divine Comedy came to Dante in a dream, and it was basically treated as a holy vision by a bunch of people in the Catholic Church. Holy visions were kind of common back in the day? But yeah, people believed that he really went to Hell, Purgatory and Heaven and the Comedy is a retelling of a real thing he did.
Writer: Dante... Main Character: Dante... Most of the named people in hell: People Dante liked, who talk highly of Dante...or people he disliked in real life suffering... Self insert fanfic?: Yes. Definitely.
dantes inferno is basically just dante: dang this guy is getting his ballsack crushed for eternity, thats not epic virgil: this is the man who ate your sandwich dante: he deserves it
I was thinking about that a bit. If the interiors are LEAD, that shit is stupidly heavy, hence lead pipe being a long running murder weapon in Clue. Depending on how those coats are constructed, they're possibly marching around in a manner where breathing would be next to impossible while being completely encumbered. (Not to mention what that would do to the shoulders the weight is draped over.) Worse than perma-roast, unlikely. Still not the best day in the afterlife to have.
@@jasonrhome710 ironically, a lead pipe is one of the least deadly weapons every. you can punch a hole through lead, you can bend it, rip it with your bare hands even, lead is incredibly malleable. the solid lead you see isn't actually solid lead, it'll be a lead alloy but that also means you could mold the lead into a support system that you could lean back on while standing - the only way it would be heavy enough as pure lead would be if there's a lot of it, like inches thick all over - but lead being incredibly malleable means an inch think can be spread millimeters thin under enough pressure (less pressure the hotter it is...) you could build a lot outta that coat
It must be pride circle in general. Just imagine someone who you adored insulting the shit out of you in the most gruesome, creative, awesome, but hurtsome way there can be. And whenever you speak up to them, your tongue gets cut out, to regenerate back until next time you speak up, and so on.
I always appreciate that deliberate, 1 second pause between “as always,” and “thank you for watching.” It makes me feel genuinely appreciated. Thank you wendigoon!
I swear Dante is that one kid you accidentally pushed in line and he kept threatening to get you back. So a few years later, he puts you in the 9th circle of hell in his poem.
as someone who lives in Pisa i can tell you that despite many centurys have past people form Florance and other big citys in Tuscany still playfully hate Pisa and make similar jokes
I love how Dante, traveling through the Circle of _Betrayal,_ agrees to help a guy and then after finding out you can get sent to this place immediately without dying if you commit a terrible sin, proceeds to _betray_ the guy by not helping him. The balls on this guy!
It's ok, *DANTE* is on a holy mission from *GOD* so that's how you know it's ok, God said Dante is *cool* not like those *other* traitors and hypocrites, and if Dante says God says that Dante is cool than you *KNOW* it has to be true! And if you *DON'T* agree than guess what kiddo? You're gonna be in hell! Alongside alllll the other meanies that made fun of him!
@@nananamamana3591Dante is that guy at work who's always doing the things you get in trouble for but no one ever said anything about it because he's tight with one of the managers
this entire video makes me laugh no matter how many times i watch. dante laying on his bed with his pen, angrily writing, "and this stupid dumb idiot who called me ugly is now burning in hell. also virgil loves me and thinks im awesome and hot and muscular"
I love that a part of this story involves Dante meeting his favorite writers and being like "Oh my god. I'm a big fan. You guys are the shit." and they're like "No, Dante. YOU are the shit. Alright, see ya later!"
Dante’s comments about Pisa and Genoa make me realize how timeless of a tradition it is to dunk on nearby cities for no reason. Like I can already hear a New Yorker walking through hell and passing the frozen damned souls and being like, fuckin jersey amirite
“and this guy from new brunswick tried to charge $10 for a bacon egg and cheese, can you believe it? anyway he’s a tree now watch me break off his arm.”
Bro it's been like 800 years and they are still beefing 💀 When I tell you there's a story that says that Florentine bread is unsalted because Pisani were the ones selling the salt... And they would never pay money to a Pisano
@cautiontape0 actually there were plenty of reasons for those cities to hate each other…first of all they were all maritime cities, thus they were strongly competing for the best export routes, which eventually lead them to be in war for various decades. If you are more interested about it just Google it, I’m no historian, but at the end of the day people from those cities hate each other still today.
>went down to hell >walks on the river and pushes everyone back to make an epic entrance >blasted the city gate with a single tap >threatens every fallen angel who wants to interfere >refuses to elaborate further >leaves
I absolutely adore the mental image of vergil and dante walking thru hell Blues Brothers style and going "we're on a mission from god" at every inconvenience and roadblock just as they do. The OG blues brothers
A piece of old biblical self-insert fan-fiction is not only, one of the most hardcore, heavy metal, horrifying piece of fiction that a human being has ever put on a piece of paper, but also the basis of modern Italian.
I absolutely love this . I watched all 3 . Then started over. I love the transformation in your reference for Dante the writer , you can really tell you read these one at a time and then did the videos ( which is awesome) , because the first one you’ve got a lot of jokes and don’t seem to have a lot of reverence for Dante , then by the end of purgatory your tone for the man has changed greatly and you can’t hold back tears. What a journey you had too! Amazing it’s kinda all set up that way . Fantastic job !
The idea of Dante having a personal experience with tax collectors and aggressively writing them into the deeper parts of hell in his fanfic makes me laugh
Sinner: "I am literally in the most pain a human being can experience right now, and I will be until the end of ti-" Dante: "So what about Florence though, you heard anything juicy about Florence recently?"
You know, I’ve always enjoyed your content and have frequently used it to tolerate my work shift. I haven’t watched your stuff in a minute and recently felt intrigued to read up on Dante, it was a wholesome satisfaction to feel confident in my source, thank you.
It’s funny that the two guys that tried to kill Cesar are in the 9th circle, and the guy that sentenced Jesus Christ to death by crucifixion is like a solid mid 8th. Dante’s inferno, specifically who is in what circle, is not only the first fan fiction but also the first tier list.
Whats funny is that Ceasar gets to chill the the first circle as a virtuous pagan but Alexander the Great, someone who Caesar viewed as heroic and enviable is stuck in a boiling lake.
Hey, wendigoon, this video came out around the time a close family member passed away and I couldn't watch this video bc linked memories, but i finally watched this and really made me get emotional and remind me of him. Thank you for being able to share such a story
- Writes about real people from his life to vindictively punish them within the story - Writes about his idols showering him with adoration - Puts fictional characters on the same level of reality as real people Dante was definitely one of CWC's previous lives
Dante’s writing seeming like a “fan-fiction” where his heroes all love and admire him makes perfect sense when you get into Purgatorio. In his second book dante struggles with the realization that his greatest sin that he needs to atone for before entering paradise, is his pride.
At least he's humble enough to realize his own flaws. Makes me think of my own insurmountable sin...which makes me desperate for Jesus's atoning sacrifice on the cross.
@@josephb.4640 just think of the billions of sins you could absolve if you just got up on a cross too, gotta work twice right? Are we not all children of God? Or are we the snotty step kids and Jesus his letterman all state athlete blood son? Who knows anymore let’s just get crucfiyin
@@stevensilver2880 Jesus Christ was the son of God, correct. But was also part of the Holy Trinity as well. I'm no expert by far, but I don't think that crucifying any normal person, even if they willingly agreed to bear the burden for everyone's sins. Especially since they are all previously repented, and forgiven due to Jesus's sacrifice on the cross.
Read the book 20 years ago, and I'm amazed at how much had forgotten or didn't catch in the first place. I really appreciate the commentary and insight
My coach back in highschool used to make us Sprint at full speed for 30 seconds and if he saw anyone slow down even a little bit, he would stop the timer until the person sped back up to full speed. 30 seconds would turn to over 2 minutes, people would pass out lol
@@Hellknight101 Its not. People have to be pushed to get in shape. Once your body starts adapting it gets easier. I remember how bad it sucked when we came off summer break and had to start running and sprinting. It felt like heck and sucked but within a few weeks things got easier.
I unironically loved this story when I had to do a report on it in high school, and I still do. It's probably the greatest fanfiction ever written, right next to My Immortal.
@@TownBiness97 its mean to make it sound sincere. ironically liking a story would be more like... saying "i love this story, its so quirky" vs "i absolutely love this story and think its a beautiful piece of media." the 38 likes understood the comment, and im sure you did too. the english language is used, defined, and changed as generations grow older. the definitions of words are skewered and used differently in comparison to the past few centuries/decades. stop being so anachronistically self-centred. people can use words in whatever way they want.
@@TownBiness97 i love rise of skywalker ironically because it's a terrible movie and a train wreck that derails whatever remained of the saga but it's so fucking funny because of that
@@spitgorge2021 Considering the rest of the self righteousness and opinionated moments i don't think it was intentional, i believe it was just a huge leak of Dante's ego being portrayed clearly without he noticing it. But if it was intentional at least he had some self-awareness
@@alexandrecussiol8827 Read parts 2 and 3 of the play. Dante is self aware, and addresses it more or less. Also the trip through the afterlife is all a character journey for Dante, which very deliberately starts with him lost in Hell for a reason.
The transitions of Dante sleeping and then waking up in a new place has the same energy as taking a little kid on a car ride, but other than that it’s definitely really interesting.
This is like the 13th century version of those One Direction Wattpad stories that become movies. Like something that is like why the fuck was that made but also like very interesting
Imagine if this happened in modern times and you’re a dead soul and you see a living soul come up to you through unknown means and just being like “yo what’s going on in Cleveland?”
i don't understand why, but listening to you talk about literally anything is such a joy, it feels like a nerd talk with your best friend in high school that leaves you with a good mood for the entire day, thanks for your content, man
Stuff referenced in Limbus Company: 7:16 - Dante wakes up in a dark forest, is attacked by wild animals (in LCB it's characters with animal names/themes) 7:40 - Virgil is Vergilius in LCB who, just like Virgil, acts as Dante's guide through the story 8:45 - Vergilius literally tells Dante LCB that they have to go through the inferno 12:14 - This is just a hunch of mine, but I think the people who try to attack Mephi while Dante LCB and crew are travelling might be a parallel to the sea of lost souls 13:20 - The bus driver in LCB is Charon 17:05 - I feel like in LCB Vergilius gets this treatment instead of Dante. Also I have a hunch that this group could be reflected by Yuri and the other two fixers. So far I've only played up to the dungeon in Canto 3.5, but I have a feeling that these sort of characters that only appear for one or two cantos before dying or disappearing are meant to parallel the sinners Dante talks to in each layer 21:12 - Just a hunch of mine, but I feel like Effie and Saude could be a reference to these two. See previous note Will update this as I progress through the game more
Dante: Vergil you sure that being hung upside down by his balls over a huge fire and having needles piercing his body over and over is a fair punishment for this guy? Vergil: he like, literally just didn't live in Florence Dante: i see, fair enough
@@seanrosenau2088 “based in facts” or just something you say when someone says an opinion you agree with, so in this instance they believe tax collectors going to hell is a good/righteous thing :)
One thing you missed that I love is the reason the ninth circle is frozen is because of Lucifer flapping his wings because he's trying to escape hell because he regrets his betrayal but can't change his nature so he's constantly trying to fly outta hell but his wing beats are freezing him and the entire ninth hell keeping him trapped.... Essentially he's still continuing his original sin believing his on strength is enough to run his own life instead of being subservient to God and thus all his efforts keep him trapped
Flapping wings would possibly increase air movement, but it WOULD NOT make that air cold. In fact, increased flow of air would feed more oxygen to any flames nearby, increasing the size of the flames and raising the overall temperature.
Not Very Fun Fact: The Entire Divine Comedy rhymes in Italian. Specifically in Terza Rima, which is a type of Iambic Tercets, where each line is intertwined with the other (aba, bcb, cdc, etc.) It's difficult to work with, and I have no idea how Dante did this for around 101k words. Each line in Inferno is also 11 syllables.
The Latin based languages, especially in their older, closer to original Latin form, are VERY prone to rhyme and double meanings. Some older European poets and writers went APE with that concept, in Italy you have Dante with his Afterlife epic, and in Portugal you have Luís de Camões with "Os Lusíadas", which is basically all about how Portugal was great, born from greatness and destined to greatness, and the Portuguese had Every God Ever on their side, and thus shouldn't mope around nor be negative. Which is very ironic, because Portugal has always been a DEEPLY Catholic country, but Camões was out there invoking Muses and saying Odysseus/Ulysses founded Portugal, and Aphrodite felt very protective of us and Zeus went along with her. Don't get me started on the mentions of sea gods, that man must've gone through every single one. And then, because I'm a literary nerd, another Portuguese author that got away with A LOT MORE THAN HE REALISTICALLY SHOULD HAVE, was Gil Vicente, specifically with his "Autos das Barcas" where he made comedies, in the modern sense because they were HEAVY on satire, in which a bunch of dead people have to either embarc on the boat to Hell or the boat to Heaven, and they all start spouting their supposed virtues, but the Devil heckles them and points their hipocrisy and flaws, and the Angel just, roasts them, so they go into the Devil's boat. Until a group of, if I remember correctly, humble friars arrive, and the Angel is so happy for finally having virtuous people the he scares them off and they run to the Hell boat with the Angel still giving chase. And this is just in one of the Autos. Which are plays. That were performed, and still are. But back then were performed in front of the people they were criticizing. Gil Vicente feared no one.
The fact that this dude said: “yeah, this is actually a work as influential as Greek and Roman literature” about his own poem AND IT ENDED UP BEING SUCH
hey man, guess what. found this video late, put it in my watchlist where it sat for a year or so until i finally made some time to literally take notes in the book while you talked (for about 4 hours), like a self-study! fantastic! you did such a great job, and let me say, i had read inferno before but i'm not skilled at interpretation so all of the fleshing out and explanation was so great for me! thank you so much for sharing this. it was really worth my time and i really enjoyed learning from you and hearing your reactions and thoughts about it, too! cheers all!
Pope Soyniface VIII: “Do you really think that I’m going to suffer in hell for abusing the power and privilege given to me by God?” Chadte Alighieri: “YES.”
@@gm2349 With exceptions. I don’t know about you but eternally drowning in a river of boiling blood, boiling tar, having to stand in extremely hot sand and punished for sitting down, amongst other things are brutal for the sinners that’s intended for.
Every punishment was a poethic way to counter the sin. Those who wanted to look too far ahead in the future, are condemned to look behind for eternity. Those who hid the truth for personal gain, are condemned to wander hidden in a flame. Those who tried to split people in life with their action, are now condemned to endure splitted in the body.
I mean Dante has done other things since in the original story he also ranted about how he hates certain cities and wished people in those cities would die.
The thing that I found hilarious about the homosexuality punishment was that Dante kept describing them like they were oiled, sweaty, and ready. Like when a few of them linked with each other to go in a circle so they could talk with Dante, he described them as thrusting against and gripping each other’s skin.
@@vaniatanuwijaya7772 yeah you right I got that messed up. The last one, 9th, Is the closest to pride because it divine Hubris. The circle of Lucifer is the one where the guys made an attempt at perfection.
I believe he did put Pride but it was in Purgatory. Even himself stated that Pride was also his flaw in his journey. Funny how atleast dante is self aware that he was being prideful.

People improve spiritually in Purgatory, and I'm guessing (??) that people improve spiritually at least somewhat in Hell? Like an "arse I did a bad thing that was a really bad thing that I shouldn't have done" sorta thing? But I guess what I'm saying is could you improve physically? Like I know they don't have physical bodies but imagine going to hell, experiencing something like this as your punishment, and just getting spirit-jacked from all the working out.
An interesting point that i learned when I went to a catholic high school and we read this book in English, was that the cold that makes the final circle frozen is because of the wind made by Satan flapping his wings. The implication of this is that Satan is making his own punishment, he's stuck in the ice and keeping others in the ice because of the pride he has, that he can get out of this punishment by pulling himself out and flying away, therefore defying god and making his punishment worse. Pretty cool and shows the idea that the punishment for sin is simply a natural consequence of an action.
Dante’s Inferno seems to be able to be summed up in a few points: 1. Dante passes out 2. Wakes up in a new place 3. Dante asks about Florence (cause that’s obviously very important) 4. Other characters praise Dante for being a super cool dude 5. Dante passes out

Not that anyone asked, but the minotaur (as guardian of the circle of the violents) rapresent a person's more animalistic and bestial instincts, which is why Virgil (an allegory of human reason trought the entire poem) can dismiss it like it's nothing. It's an allegory of reason winning over instinct.
@@chairchairchairchairchair every single encounter and seemingly random event in the Comedy is allegorical in some way, nothing is to be taken at face value. It's really fucking cool, way cooler than the video let's out.
A man who wrote a story with bad things happening to people he had personal grudges against that wasn’t well received when it came out, but is now considered a classic centuries later. Oh god, Sonichu is gonna be a classic in 200 years…
So according to Dante, some of the people who went to Hell include his teacher, landlords, fictional Greeks, and his favourite poets go there too but don't worry because they get their own exclusive club where they don't actually suffer lmao
They’re in limbo which technically isn’t hell just a neutral place where decent ppl who lived and died before Jesus go. It just includes some of his favorite poets
OMG bruh I'm only half way through your vid and I LOVE IT! Your commitment to the material, your animation and humor. Love it! Always had a morbid(?) fascination with especially the imagery and notion of Dante's Inferno. You add to this in a wonderfully captivating and entertaining way. Bless you and thanks :)
I like how Dante genuinely just made people who ate too much suffer worse than a pair of adulterers Somebody probably stole his lunch and he just turned them into a fat blob getting cut open over and over again for all eturnity
according to Dante both gluttony and adultery are sins born of excessive love but the important thing here is that excessive love for another person is a lesser sin that excessive love for mere things (in this case food)
@@parkerrabideau8792 And you had to walk past all the starving people dying on the streets every single day. Hear them speak, even. There was no just driving past them.
I mean if I saw people being burned alive I’d pass out or sleep cause it resolves my issues but walking backwards is kinda unusual and not as overwhelming as watching people being burned alive😂
I mean some of the first europeans to come to Canada in the winter pretty much described it as being hell I think (don't know from where I got that from but I think I heard it somewhere)
The reaction to this guy's comments is like that Leonardo di Caprio meme where he's pointing at the screen like "hey I know him". This would be fine if they were ever more entertaining than some incredibly easy joke or surface-level observation, like I know it's fun to see people like this guy and Justin Y on all the vids I watch for a while but at this point I'm just annoyed that they're elevated above inciteful or funny comments because "dude I see you on every video".
1:05:07 idk why but there’s something so funny to me about a group of damned souls being like “yo, that dude kinda sucks. what if we just step on him for eternity?”😭😭
Since I moved to Italy, I had the opportunity to study Dante's work at school. I don't recall if you mention it in the video, but something interesting about the way Dante has written the comedy is that as he visits all of the different levels he uses different types of language registers. For example, as he gets down in hell he uses words like "shit, ass, piss, etc..", at one point someone even does a gesture that resembles our modern middle finger. When he is in heaven, thus closer to god, at a certain point his register is so high that it includes latin words. There are many more interesting details like this, honestly Dante's work is amazing!
One of the thing that I still Remember about the language in the divine commedy was the use of the Word "ratto" which in modern italian means "rat" but in Dante's Italian meant fast/Quick. Which makes lot of Sense when you think about it because rats are Indeed fast creatures.
Guarantee that Dante was a temporary layer of extra torture to the damned souls of Hell. Big one being in Hersey, imagine spending God knows (literally) how long, pain is all you've known and your memories of mortal life have faded into the constant flames. When suddenly some random Italian dude shows up, not tortured, not in any sort of pain, just walking around before he walks up to you and all this mortal, perfectly normal man has to ask you is this: "How's the war effort going in Florence?" The sheer irritation I would feel would probably double my pain from physical to psychological damage from having to be in the presence of such a stupid question given my situation.
only someone from our overly self absorbed way of thinking these days would think like this. in the 1300s hospitality was more important than your own situation and expecting Dante to change his entire paradigm to soften to blow to some sinner in hell is pretty lol, so i doubt it is intended as another form of punishment, in fact its could be seen as a treat, as they are allowing a vistor in a place where there are no visitors area usually allowed. this person was probably thrilled to be allowed to show some form of hospitality to Dante and Virgil

@@rockhistoria2537 Thats a GREAT idea!!!! If only I had talent....Bro, you gotta do it!
Fun fact: in the book of Purgatory, Dante implies he himself will end up on the ledge that punishes people who were arrogant in life. So, he not only was full of himself, he happily embraced it
I thought of that too...he is narcissistic, judgemental, lacks true empathy to be honest...he only sympathizes with anyone who is from Rome, not even Italians in general 😂 or famous philosophers from ancient greece...who are still in hell.
Oh so he's going to hell himself?
That is hilarious omg
@@jeffreyphillip936 no, he says he'll pass a lot of time in the frame of Pride in Purgatory
The idea is that Purgatory is a temporary penitence for virtuous souls that aren't ready for Heaven when they die.
@@jeffreyphillip936 nope, not hell, he's too good for that. Guess he figured putting himself in heaven would've been a little too on the nose, so he settled for purgatory instead, which has ledges to climb to since it's a mountain

OP, is this the first time you've read DI?
Dante has "what is going on in Florence" as an option in all speech encounters.
He still needs to start the Florence quest line.
this reminds me of when i ignore main quest in zelda to do side quests and everyone i talk to vaguely references the mess I'm supposed to be fixing
He is basically Ryo from Shenmue except instead of looking for sailors he really wants to know what's going on in Florence.
This story would be a great concept for a story driven narrative game you are Dante wandering through hell progressively falling deeper into hell until you reach the center of hell and make your way all the way to paradise

Dante was making self-insert Fanfic before things like AO3 and Wattpad. He was really a pioneer if you think about it
Not really. Most Greek stories of travellers describe how they find and defeat all kinds of crazy monsters. This is as old as humanity
i forgot about wattpad for a hot minute you just unlocked core memory
@@Chillerll But the thing is those travellers either thought what they saw or experienced were actual monsters because of the gap in knowledge back then where they would attribute any unusual encounters with monsters, or they were half truths that are exaggerated to all hell and are presented as actual truth, The Divine Comedy isn't like this because it does not make any effort in presenting that it actually happened nor was Dante himself testifying what he wrote was true, it was still fiction when 'fiction' wasn't an established term
He’s a petty icon 😂
@@c731-enfiwhilst this may be true, Dante still wasn’t an originator of the self insert, as most medieval works either talk of generic knights, the round table, the fae, or (and this is the relevant one) stories that revolve around the person’s very fictional adventures with a religious character. This is not to say the divine comedy is bad, it’s actually completely amazing and very innovative, but the fact that it was a self insert fanfic isn’t the innovative part. Hope this helps. \(^o^)/

Dante is the first fanfic writer in history, he even has a self insert who has his favorite character tell him he’s awesome
OMG stop, this is hilarious 🤣 but so true. I legit thought the same thing.
Don’t forget his very own Mary Sue angel Beatrice. A woman who he only met twice (first at 9 years old) with the meetings about 9 years apart, who married someone else. I don’t think they were ever romantically involved. But he held unrequited love his entire life.
That is the ultimate fanfic move: turn your crush (who probably doesn’t know you exist) into a Perfect Mary Sue who is totally in love with you because you are soooo cool…
He definitely had a praise kink
dante is a lot like chris chan, he paints himself as a man everyone loves and respects in his own story and includes lots of people he looks up to and knows in real life. he also punishes people he didn't like in real life, just like chris chan.
Fun fact: the Divine Comedy came to Dante in a dream, and it was basically treated as a holy vision by a bunch of people in the Catholic Church. Holy visions were kind of common back in the day? But yeah, people believed that he really went to Hell, Purgatory and Heaven and the Comedy is a retelling of a real thing he did.
I don't know how accurate it is to call the Divine Comedy a self-insert fanfic but it certainly feels like it

@Magne M layer 9 is for people who talk about their grindset on social media
I was thinking about that a bit. If the interiors are LEAD, that shit is stupidly heavy, hence lead pipe being a long running murder weapon in Clue. Depending on how those coats are constructed, they're possibly marching around in a manner where breathing would be next to impossible while being completely encumbered. (Not to mention what that would do to the shoulders the weight is draped over.) Worse than perma-roast, unlikely. Still not the best day in the afterlife to have.
@@jasonrhome710 ironically, a lead pipe is one of the least deadly weapons every.
you can punch a hole through lead, you can bend it, rip it with your bare hands even, lead is incredibly malleable.
the solid lead you see isn't actually solid lead, it'll be a lead alloy
but that also means you could mold the lead into a support system that you could lean back on while standing - the only way it would be heavy enough as pure lead would be if there's a lot of it, like inches thick all over - but lead being incredibly malleable means an inch think can be spread millimeters thin under enough pressure (less pressure the hotter it is...)
you could build a lot outta that coat

@cautiontape0 actually there were plenty of reasons for those cities to hate each other…first of all they were all maritime cities, thus they were strongly competing for the best export routes, which eventually lead them to be in war for various decades. If you are more interested about it just Google it, I’m no historian, but at the end of the day people from those cities hate each other still today.

Dante’s writing seeming like a “fan-fiction” where his heroes all love and admire him makes perfect sense when you get into Purgatorio. In his second book dante struggles with the realization that his greatest sin that he needs to atone for before entering paradise, is his pride.
At least he's humble enough to realize his own flaws. Makes me think of my own insurmountable sin...which makes me desperate for Jesus's atoning sacrifice on the cross.

Stuff referenced in Limbus Company:
7:16 - Dante wakes up in a dark forest, is attacked by wild animals (in LCB it's characters with animal names/themes)
7:40 - Virgil is Vergilius in LCB who, just like Virgil, acts as Dante's guide through the story
8:45 - Vergilius literally tells Dante LCB that they have to go through the inferno
12:14 - This is just a hunch of mine, but I think the people who try to attack Mephi while Dante LCB and crew are travelling might be a parallel to the sea of lost souls
13:20 - The bus driver in LCB is Charon
17:05 - I feel like in LCB Vergilius gets this treatment instead of Dante. Also I have a hunch that this group could be reflected by Yuri and the other two fixers. So far I've only played up to the dungeon in Canto 3.5, but I have a feeling that these sort of characters that only appear for one or two cantos before dying or disappearing are meant to parallel the sinners Dante talks to in each layer
21:12 - Just a hunch of mine, but I feel like Effie and Saude could be a reference to these two. See previous note

One thing you missed that I love is the reason the ninth circle is frozen is because of Lucifer flapping his wings because he's trying to escape hell because he regrets his betrayal but can't change his nature so he's constantly trying to fly outta hell but his wing beats are freezing him and the entire ninth hell keeping him trapped.... Essentially he's still continuing his original sin believing his on strength is enough to run his own life instead of being subservient to God and thus all his efforts keep him trapped
Flapping wings would possibly increase air movement, but it WOULD NOT make that air cold.
In fact, increased flow of air would feed more oxygen to any flames nearby, increasing the size of the flames and raising the overall temperature.

@@onepunch9203 your first mistake was trying to apply scientific logic to the divine comedy
Not Very Fun Fact: The Entire Divine Comedy rhymes in Italian. Specifically in Terza Rima, which is a type of Iambic Tercets, where each line is intertwined with the other (aba, bcb, cdc, etc.) It's difficult to work with, and I have no idea how Dante did this for around 101k words. Each line in Inferno is also 11 syllables.
good heavens! My mind is blown
This goes to show that, regardless of what one thinks of him, Dante really was a literary genius.
The Latin based languages, especially in their older, closer to original Latin form, are VERY prone to rhyme and double meanings. Some older European poets and writers went APE with that concept, in Italy you have Dante with his Afterlife epic, and in Portugal you have Luís de Camões with "Os Lusíadas", which is basically all about how Portugal was great, born from greatness and destined to greatness, and the Portuguese had Every God Ever on their side, and thus shouldn't mope around nor be negative.
Which is very ironic, because Portugal has always been a DEEPLY Catholic country, but Camões was out there invoking Muses and saying Odysseus/Ulysses founded Portugal, and Aphrodite felt very protective of us and Zeus went along with her. Don't get me started on the mentions of sea gods, that man must've gone through every single one.
And then, because I'm a literary nerd, another Portuguese author that got away with A LOT MORE THAN HE REALISTICALLY SHOULD HAVE, was Gil Vicente, specifically with his "Autos das Barcas" where he made comedies, in the modern sense because they were HEAVY on satire, in which a bunch of dead people have to either embarc on the boat to Hell or the boat to Heaven, and they all start spouting their supposed virtues, but the Devil heckles them and points their hipocrisy and flaws, and the Angel just, roasts them, so they go into the Devil's boat. Until a group of, if I remember correctly, humble friars arrive, and the Angel is so happy for finally having virtuous people the he scares them off and they run to the Hell boat with the Angel still giving chase.
And this is just in one of the Autos. Which are plays. That were performed, and still are. But back then were performed in front of the people they were criticizing. Gil Vicente feared no one.

I mean Dante has done other things since in the original story he also ranted about how he hates certain cities and wished people in those cities would die.
The thing that I found hilarious about the homosexuality punishment was that Dante kept describing them like they were oiled, sweaty, and ready. Like when a few of them linked with each other to go in a circle so they could talk with Dante, he described them as thrusting against and gripping each other’s skin.

An interesting point that i learned when I went to a catholic high school and we read this book in English, was that the cold that makes the final circle frozen is because of the wind made by Satan flapping his wings. The implication of this is that Satan is making his own punishment, he's stuck in the ice and keeping others in the ice because of the pride he has, that he can get out of this punishment by pulling himself out and flying away, therefore defying god and making his punishment worse. Pretty cool and shows the idea that the punishment for sin is simply a natural consequence of an action.
All of the punishments are self propelling. That's the whole moral of the story. Your own behaviors are what put you in hell.

3. Dante asks about Florence (cause that’s obviously very important)
4. Other characters praise Dante for being a super cool dude

Since I moved to Italy, I had the opportunity to study Dante's work at school. I don't recall if you mention it in the video, but something interesting about the way Dante has written the comedy is that as he visits all of the different levels he uses different types of language registers.
For example, as he gets down in hell he uses words like "shit, ass, piss, etc..", at one point someone even does a gesture that resembles our modern middle finger.
When he is in heaven, thus closer to god, at a certain point his register is so high that it includes latin words.
There are many more interesting details like this, honestly Dante's work is amazing!
One of the thing that I still Remember about the language in the divine commedy was the use of the Word "ratto" which in modern italian means "rat" but in Dante's Italian meant fast/Quick. Which makes lot of Sense when you think about it because rats are Indeed fast creatures.

Guarantee that Dante was a temporary layer of extra torture to the damned souls of Hell.

When suddenly some random Italian dude shows up, not tortured, not in any sort of pain, just walking around before he walks up to you and all this mortal, perfectly normal man has to ask you is this: "How's the war effort going in Florence?" The sheer irritation I would feel would probably double my pain from physical to psychological damage from having to be in the presence of such a stupid question given my situation.
That’s lol
Would you even remember language?
only someone from our overly self absorbed way of thinking these days would think like this. in the 1300s hospitality was more important than your own situation and expecting Dante to change his entire paradigm to soften to blow to some sinner in hell is pretty lol, so i doubt it is intended as another form of punishment, in fact its could be seen as a treat, as they are allowing a vistor in a place where there are no visitors area usually allowed. this person was probably thrilled to be allowed to show some form of hospitality to Dante and Virgil
