Just Finished The Divine Comedy…
This book has been on my list for a long time. I always thought it would be one of the best things I have read or be very spiritually enlightening.
But after finishing it, I’m just left with an intense dislike for the author.
1- Dante seems very self centered and judgmental. He constantly bashes other parts of Italy and puts everyone he doesnt like in Hell.
2- A running theme of the book is humility but Dante has written this as if he is the most important person on Earth and everyone in the afterlife praises him
3- He is obsessed with this woman Beatrice throughout the whole book…and published this while married. Thats pretty shitty
I cant imagine this book being received well by anyone in his personal life, or the broader public. As he is constantly talking shit about people who recently passed away
