This course selects as its focus the intertwining concepts of Love and Hell as one of the underlying themes in “Inferno” from Dante’s Divine Comedy. Through close readings of the text in English translation, critical analyses, and group activities, we will examine how Dante connects the concept of love with notions of sin, justice, and redemption. This approach will allow students to explore the complex interplay between divine justice and human love, both romantic and spiritual, as portrayed in Dante’s epic poem.
