This whole time Dante was on the side of sin and Hell. He was trying to get to paradise, but first he had to go through Hell. Once he had overcome all the sin and passed to the new side of the earth, this side represents Christ, and starting over. Everything is opposite now that he escaped from the Hell side. Now his journey is new like Elizabeth and Carrie said.
Unfortunately, our book only includes a few sections of Dante's Inferno, so we will be using our books and online resources to explore the depths of his allegory.
Our goal is to collect remnants of the Inferno and your own comments and display them on this blog.
What are you supposed to do?
Use the virtual tour link to explore each section. Begin with the Dark Wood, then the Vestibule, and then the circles. Read the given information for each location. For each location, you should find something that you want to comment on or question.
An excellent comment has two characteristics: 1. It should include either a quote from the text (found either in your book or online) or a definition or researched fact that helps you understand the reading. 2. You must also include your thoughts or reaction to the remnant you use.
Once you make you comment, respond to someone else's.
Then move to the next section.
All in all, you should have at least 2 comments for each post.

I think Christ is mentioned here because the poets have escaped from hell and are now on a new part of the journey.
He is now out of Hell and on his way to paradise and to Jesus.

Carrie said, "He is now out of Hell and on his way to paradise and to Jesus."
I agree with this statement. He is looking forward to his entrance to Paradise.
