Dante's Lucifer: The Denial of the Word

However, the four words that make up the first line of Inferno 34 are Virgil's own words. At the most obvious level, these words are of their own. Because the text makes them those of him. At the same time, they are not his, because they are references to the first line of the hymn of Venantius Fortunatus. But in the last sentence he said he did not owe hymns written by Venantius Fortunatus to commemorate the Cross and Christ, so hell should be attributed to Virgil in every respect.

Dante showed obvious hatred against the three victims of Lucifer, Judas Calvary, Brutus and Cassius. All three characters were bitten by the three heads of Lucifer. Dante not only believes that betrayal is the worst of all sins, but also classifies even the worst people walking on these three people on earth, and Satan needs to punish them. Dante himself is the only person who knows whether this "change" is predetermined or whether he really changed because he passed nine loops of hell.

In my opinion, with respect to Dante's historical perspective, the analysis of Dante's "Lucy method" can draw conclusions very similar in Chapter 34. Singleton believes that Lucifer is not "the ultimate evil, the ultimate pole at the center and the end of Paradiso", but has not attracted the attention of critics. This is definitely one of the most unusual devils, not an imaginary creature of theologians, painters or folklaces, but the symbolic grotesque like complex literary emblem, Geryon is all the fear he inspires . Indeed, the progress of pilgrims is further promoted through his hair, not through what he does. But, as I said, it is unbelievable that this is not clear what this Lucifer is a signature, and certainly a simple or single answer to this question It may not be. Even his explanation is indirect and temporary.
