The devil is waiting for them, hell is gaping for them, the flames gather and flash about them, and would fain lay hold on them,

and swallow them up; the fire pent up in their own hearts is struggling to break out; and they have no interest in any Mediator, there are no means within reach that can be any security to them. In short, they have no refuge, nothing to take hold of. Which word has a similar connotation to the word "swallow" in this excerpt?

Answer:devour

Explanation:Devour according to Oxford dictionary refers eat all something quickly because you are extremely hungry this gives the same feeling or idea as the feeling provided by the word swallow .

Connotations refers to the feeling or an idea that we get from a certain word besides it's literally meaning.

When we hear the word swallow the idea that comes to mind is that someone just gobble up something and we get the same feeling with the word devour.

Connotations create an emotional attachment to that word.

Explain what role the narrator believes he is playing in telling the story. Describe how this belief will affect the story. Your
skelet666 [1.2K]

The narrator which is Dante believes he is playing the role of the protagonist. He believes that he is a good man who strays from the path of virtue, finding himself in the dark wood at the beginning of the poem. Dante is often terrified in hell and is moved by pity for the suffering sinners he sees there. However, he gradually learns from Virgil and becomes both more confident and less sympathetic toward those who have sinned against God. He is often interested in lingering to speak with sinners from Italy, particularly his native city of Florence. Since Dante is telling his own story I believe he is willing to add on details or lie about what actually happened in the adventure.
