Hey there guys! So basically I am still in love with this book and I am really trying to form cohesive thoughts because I'm just so excited to get to talk about it! Anyway, I'm going to start with Canto IV of course. I found it interesting that Limbo consists of three predominant groups of people: unbaptized infants, virtuous people who weren't Christians, and the great philosophers. It is one thing to hear that good deeds won't get you into Heaven it's another to see it blatantly written out. Also, as Sierra I think mentioned in her blog post, the imagery in this Canto was stunning. It was insanely detailed to the point where my unimaginative, inartistic brain could sketch stuff out and get a good, clear visual of where we were at.
Next in Canto V, I honestly just have two things. I desperately want more backstory on Paolo and Francesca. Seriously, by the time Francesca started telling her story I was like, "Honey there is not enough ink on this half page for you to possibly have the details I'm gonna need!" Finally, please someone, anyone, I don't care who, what in Jehovah Jireh does this sentence mean? Page 51 line 103 "love that allows no loved one not to love." I've read it forewards, backwards, sideways, biways, and highways. I read the Italian and even did that thing where you take a brake and come back. I got nothin.
