How many faces does Stan have, and what colors are they? What are his wings like? What is his "eternal dinner"?

He has 3 faces. One is red, the other was white & the last one he describes as something people would see in the Nile. His wings had a span like a bird but they were not feathers, they had their texture and form like a bat's. He eats 3 people for his eternal dinner.
I think it is interesting the way Dante describes Satan. It is ironic in a way and contradicts the modern day belief that Satan is all red with horns and a pitchfork.
Carrie is right about his faces and his wings, but when I read about his eternal dinner, I take it as these three sinners who are stuck in his teeth. They are always being chewed on, since they are in satan's mouth, so they are in eternal pain. Satan feeds off their pain, and that pain is his eternal dinner.

I agree, but when you think about it, you figure you'd get used to being constantly gnawed on!
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.

That is a really good point Rachael, I never thought of like that.
