It was first used by Dante to represent the Holy Trinity
Questions: Q: What is the Mino's role and how does he carry it out? A: Puts people in their proper place in hell by wrapping his tail the appropriate number of times that correspond to the level of hell that they go to. Q: Do you think the second layer of hell is a reasonable place to put the lustful? A: At that time it would've been reasonable because lustfulness distracts them from God Q: Do you think franchesca and palo's love is real? Was she in love with Palo or was she trying to escape a loveless marriage? (the story of franchesca is she was married to a man, and fell in love with his younger brother after reading a story about love) A: No, because it was a spur of the moment type of thing. This makes the punishment reasonable because, like the way they were swept up in love, they are swept within the whirlwind. Q: "And great Achilles, the hero whom love slew/ In his last battle." What do you think this means? Is it Achilles' lust for battle or an actual woman? A: He was most likely was in love with the battle or with himself. Q: Dante feels pity toward these sinners, What do you feel toward the sinners of lust? Does their punishment seem fair or unfair to you? A: It fair that they are only in the second rung because love is a powerful thing because we just can't help ourselves.
Notes: -Lustful punishment: flung around in a whirlwind -It is dark, representing how the lustful were blind to everything else (reason why they should be in hell?) -Love distracts people from God -Keep in mind that this is a comedy -Dante uses famous, renown figures in hell. This raises the question of how can we praise people in hell. Is Dante trying to tell us that the judgement in hell is too harsh? He wrote the book while he was exiled, while angry at the Papacy.
