Ronch [10]1 year ago

The purpose of contrapasso is to create intense punishments that contrast the sin that created them and this is developed into the creation of the disorder and chaos that sets in hell.

<h3>How does Dante do this?</h3>
  • He puts the contrapasso as a kind of karma.
  • He puts the contrapasso to highlight the disharmony of hell.

The contrapasso is used by Dante to show how the punishments of hell are created according to the sin that the individual created during his lifetime.

In this way, the contrapasso establishes punishments that are the opposite of the effect of sin. An example of this is seen when Dante meets a man who proved a political coup, causing a country's rulers to be beheaded. According to the contrapasso, this man's punishment is to have his head dislocated from his body and to walk holding it for eternity.

Poem about Mother's Day
lions [1.4K]
I love my mother a lot,
How much I’ve sought and thought.
I didn’t know what for her I should get,
I saw what I did and my mind was set.
I couldn’t buy fancy jewelry or even food,
But I bought flowers that look and smell good.
Happy Mother’s Day to my lovely mother,
I don’t think I could ever ask for another.
