DANTE | INTERIM 1
Using a canto of your choosing, from Cantos 1-9, apply your chosen critical analysis lens answering
the question: How does your lens apply to your canto? Include at least 2 items/discussion
points from the canto (cite) and explain your interpretation and analysis of each item as it
relates to your lens. Interpretations must be original to you and resources like sparksnotes.com
may not be used. Submission of the completed project will be to Canvas by midnight on
Wednesday, Dec. 13th.
So far, we’ve discussed these various critical lenses of interpretation:
● Marxist (more challenging)
● Biographical/Historical (less challenging)
● Feminist (somewhat challenging)
EXAMPLE SECTION OF BODY PARAGRAPH:
In the first line of the inscription above the Gate of Hell in Canto III, Dante writes,
“THROUGH ME YOU ENTER INTO THE CITY OF WOES,” Hell is described as a city.
This description gains support in the portrayal of Hell’s architecture: it is walled
and gated like a medieval city. The idea of cities figures significantly in Inferno,
and Dante’s treatment of them situates his poem both historically and
theologically. Historically, large cities had begun to play an increasingly
important role in European social and economic life in the high Middle Ages,
particularly in Italy, where city-states such as Dante’s native Florence had
become important bases of social organization. Dante portrays Hell as a city in
large part because, to a thinker in the early fourteenth century, any substantial
human population would almost necessarily have suggested a city.
“Did I include everything I need?” Checklist:
