    The encounter between Dante, the main character, and Filippo Argenti, a member of the condemned, deals with Dante's response to Argenti's place in hell, his disdain for Argenti, and his symbolic rejection of sin by his actions. Dante has no sympathy towards Argenti even though Argenti is condemned to stay in the slimy River of Styx until the Judgment. Dante holds great animosity towards Argenti carried on from conflicts they have had in life to the putrid circles of hell. The hostility Dante demonstrates marks his progression in his journey of purification. With his unprecedented denouncement of a sinner, Dante has proven his journey through hell has not been traveled in vain, but effectively to cleanse his sins from his soul.…

    The Inferno written by Dante is a haunting and gruesome tale of one man’s journey through hell. Taking place in 1300 Dante writes about a character named Dante. Throughout the book we are not sure if the character is strictly sketched out like Dante himself or just simply named Dante. Most scholars of Dante believe that he used the name Dante but suggest that no evidence has been given to support the character Dante being based on the poet Dante. The Inferno is about Dante’s travels through hell with the help of his guide, Virgil. Dante gets lost and Virgil helps guide him by taking him through hell and then to heaven where he will see Beatrice, his love. During Dante’s pilgrimage he goes through seven different circles of hell. In each of these circles he encounters sinners who are enduring punishment. The punishment of each sinner exhibits contrapasso. The theme of contrapasso is…

    Everything became clear to Edmond, but he could not use this information, rotting in a Chateau D’If jail cell. Faria shared his escape plans, but he did not survive long enough to see the bright, blue sky again. After Edmond managed to escape, he became so focused on exacting revenge on those who wronged him, trying to get those 14 years he spent in jail back. He did not realize that he was wasting even more time that could be used exploring the world, or doing what made Edmond happy. Instead, he created the alias known as the Count of Monte Cristo, and began his revenge plot. After trying to obtain those 14 lost years, he realized that would be impossible, as well as having everything go back to the way it was before imprisonment. After thinking about everything he had experienced, he realized that one has to feel the worst grief before feeling true happiness. This happens to be a theme throughout the novel, which seems to be the message Dumas is trying to communicate. Dantés had realized “that there was another Mercedes in the world, that he might once again be happy”(391). He could be truly happy once again, even if the situation was completely different. He was now wealthy, with another…
