The Inferno

So this week we have been reading small parts of the Inferno. We have read Cantos I, Cantos III, and Cantos V and for the Cantos V we were split into two groups and had to write a story in poetic form about two different topics out of one story. These stories are a bit confusing but they were interesting to read. The poem that we had to write was about Francesca and how she was cheating on her husband, Giovanni, with his brother, Paolo. When Giovanni found out, he killed both his own wife and brother. So they both went to Hell because they hadn't confessed their sins yet. Francesca hadn't been to a church to to her confession so she had all of her sins built up inside her. What we wrote was that Giovanni had been suspicious about his wife and that she was sneaking around. So one night he went out and followed her and found out she was cheating, so his first reaction was to kill them both, and when that matter was done, he had no remorse for what had just happened. In the Cantos V there were also MINOS and that is what my picture is of.
