THIS IS THE SUMMARY OF THE TEACHER:
WITH DANTE ALIGHIERI’S INFERNO WE DISCUSSED EXPLICITLY OR IN PASSING NUMEROUS GENERAL THEMES. THESE INCLUDE: HOW LANGUAGE DIFFERENCES STILL WORK IN HELL;THE HIERARCHY OF BODILY TORTURE;HOW HELL OPERATES AS A SPACE OF CONFINEMENT;HOW THERE IS A CURIOUS NOTION OF JUSTICE AND LAW IN HELL; HOW ALL NON-CHRISTIANS END UP IN HELL, INCLUDING SOCRATES, MOHAMMED, AND THE MAJORITY OF JEWS; HOW WOMEN SEEM ABSENT IN HELL EXCEPT WHEN THEY ARE CONSIDERED “BAD” LEADERS; HOW HELL IS BASED ON TELLING THE TRUTH. DANTE’S NOTION OF HELL IS A WORK OF IMAGINATION FOUNDED ON RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL AND SOCIAL DEBATES THAT SPEAK TO HIS OWN NOTION OF REALITY. INDEED. DANTE;S CONCEPTION OF HELL, WHILE HORRIFIC AND PAINFUL, SEEMS RATHER EASY FOR US TO CONCEIVE OF BECAUSE PF THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN IT AND OUR EARTHLY EXISTENCE. SIMILARLY, JEAN PAUL SATRE IN NO EXIT OFFERS AN EXISTENTIALIST REFLECTION OF HELL AS “OTHER PEOPLE” EACH OF HIS CHARACTERS GARCIN, INES, ESTELLE, IS FORCED TO STAY IN A ROOM WITH OTHERS WHO ARE SIMULTANEOUSLY THEIR COMPANIONS AND TORTURES. THE “OTHERS” ARE THE EXACT OPPOSITE OR IN SOME WAY FORCE OUR MAIN CHARACTERS TO THINK ABOUT OR REFLECT ON THEMSELVES. HELL, FOR SATRE IS VERY WORLDLY; IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS BASED ON HOW HUMANS TREAT EACH OTHER IN THE “REAL WORLD”.
THIS IS WHAT HE WANTS FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT: ANALYZE HOW DANTE AND SARTRE‘S CONCEPTIONS OF HELL DRAWS FROM THE REAL WORLD IN ORDER TO CREATE AN IMAGINARY WORLD THAT IS BOTH DIFFERENT AND YET VERY RECOGNIZABLE TO US. IN SHORT, COMPARE AND CONTRAST THEIR CONCEPTS OF HELL BY FOCUSING ON THOSE ELEMENTS THAT SEEM FAMILIAR TO US. NEXT ELABORATE YOUR OWN NOTION OF HELL BY DRAWING ON EXAMPLES FROM DANTE AND/OR SARTRE. HOE DOES YOUR NOTION OF HELL RELATE TO EITHER DANTE OR SARTRE?
