It's interesting to recognize Dante's reaction to sin in the higher levels of hell and then compare them to his reactions to the sin in the lower levels of hell. Increasingly, he becomes less and less understanding towards the souls sin and stories, and more and more justice driven as he enters the final levels of hell. You see this most glaring at the end of Canto 33 when the soul asks him to remove the frozen tears from his eyes and he doesn't saying "And so I did not open them: to be villainous to him was a courtesy."
I commented on Ethan's and Darby's!
