Alexander Schmid Podcast

In this lecture we traverse Circles 1-4 and Cantos 3-8. Specifically, we (a) meet Minos, Charon, Cerberus, and Plutus from the Greco-Roman tradition; (b) we meet and consider Francesca and Paolo among the Lustful, and (c) we consider the concept of contrapasso and how it connects sin and punishment in Dante's "Inferno". --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/support
