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.

Explore how Spender conveys his feelings about his childhood in the poem ‘My Parents’
Gre4nikov [31]
Spender's childhood, based on this poem, was lonely and he spent much of his time frightened of the boys in his neighborhood.

The majority of the poem describes these rough boys who held Spender down. He describes their knees on his arms and the way they mocked his lisp. They threw mud at him and were never nice to him.

The beginning of the poem, however, makes clear that his parents kept him away from these kids. As a child, he was therefore lonely and scared.

Looking back on his childhood, the poet expresses sadness that these boys never showed him kindness. The final line shows that as a boy he would have forgiven them if they only smiled -- which they never did.
