In Dante’s Canto V, Paolo is the seducer. He is the brother
of Gianciotto, who was deformed but was from a powerful family. Paolo was sent
to settle the nuptial contract of Francesca and Gianciotto, but instead, he
fell in love with her. While they were reading the story of Lancelot and Guinevere, Paolo kissed Francesca first,
therefore, he was the seducer.
Every paragraph has to have an antecedent and an anecdote to go with it to keep the topic of the paragraph where it's supposed to be. So it doesn't turn into a run on paragraph <span />
I think the point of the relation of the quote to Atwood's poem is that what we see (or presume) and what we experience can be two totally different things. The poem talks about the striking differences between Canada as tourists see it and Canada as the speaker sees it through her own experience. For the tourists, <span>Saskatchewan is just another lake with "convenient" places to pose and take photos. For her, it is a very personal place of memories and meanings. In relation to the quote, we need to really meet our neighbors, instead of just believing the superficial images. We can really meet them through literature. By doing that, we will meet ourselves too, and realize the deep connection that binds us to other, different people and cultures.</span>
