Dante’s Inferno Project
Dante’s Inferno – Circles of Hell Project
In the selection from Dante’s Inferno, Dante envisions Hell as a pit within the earth where sinners are punished in the afterlife for their evil deeds. He designs his circles of Hell as a pit that circles downward with nine specific types of sinners. Your assignment is to design your own nine circles of “[Your Idea Here] Hell” to demonstrate your knowledge of the law of contrapasso.
You will (in a group of 3) create an alternate, more specific “Hell” with nine types of sinners and nine matching punishments. Tell me your Hell idea before the end of class today.
