418 - The Symbolism of the Entire Divine Comedy in the First Canto

418 - The Symbolism of the Entire Divine Comedy in the First Canto

In this video, I read and reflect on the first canto of Dante’s Divine Comedy — the opening of Inferno. This incredible canto puts the entire poem in perspective, serving as a microcosm for Dante's journey through inferno, purgatory, and into paradise. I discuss in detail, line by line, the rich symbolism and meaning Dante conveys.
