We went to level 7 today. This is where the levels start to get more complication, because Dante just doesn’t have ONE type of sinner for each level: there are THREE types of sinners in the Violence (actually, 6, but he lumps three together).

We talked about the centaurs in level 7.1: I always had the idea of sweet centaurs thanks to Disney’s Fantasia, but in Greek mythology, they were really, REALLY violent.

In Level 7.2, we talked about violence against SELF.

And in Level 7.3, we talked about BLASPHEMY, USURY, and HUMAN NATURE.

Blasphemy is insulting God or religious items. We talked about Piss Christ and how it’s blasphemous.

Then, we talked about USURY, and how it’s overcharging interest. We watched a few Western Sky commercials.

Here is a picture of their rates:

Today, we talked about Levels 5 and 6 of Dante’s Inferno.

Level 5 – we talked about how the WRATHFUL (or angry) are here, but also are the depressed people. Back in the day, they thought depression was SLOTH, or laziness. So because he thought these people CHOSE to be dark, they get eternity in the darkest place in hell.

Level 6 – the dictionary definition (DENOTATION) of heretic is as follows:

However, the way Dante uses it (CONNOTATION) is as a non-Catholic. This is a list of people who USED to be Roman Catholic, and then LEFT the faith.

And then we worked some more on the Minos Project.

Please, please, please – make sure you are working on this and saving this often!
