Schema today was on Canto I. Keep those facts in mind as they will help you understand why Dante is going to the inferno and how Dante uses allegory and symbols. You'll also see these questions on future quizzes and tests.
We did an SAT practice test - the reading section.
We reviewed Canti I and II and slide 3, main characters. II explains some facts and gives background that is helpful, not a lot happens. Remember Limbo and Aeneas for future reference. Dante's journey is a quest to find salvation or heaven. Virgil, human reason can only get him so far. To get to Paradise he needs divine love, represented by Beatrice and the three female saints. He can't get by the beasts, or sins, until he recognizes them and renounces them. Note that the day is Good Friday, the day Christ died according to Christians.
Homework: Canti III and IV - complete the organizer. Prepare for quiz...
