Furies

The Furies seem to pop up in numerous works I read, even in British Literature. It makes sense for Dante and Virgil to run across them at this specific instance because they had just left the place where the angry reside. I thought the description of the Furies were interesting because I had never pictured them as such. They are described as being "dyed and stained in blood", while vicious snakes make up their garments. This book has so much detail and references to other things that it makes it difficult to pick up on certain meanings. Having read a lot of literature and philosophy in my two years here makes books like this one come together more easily.

I commented on Nate and Darby's.
