@NCh201 @bdavisunr It was kind of ironic, because "hellfire" is a pretty well know colloquial phrase, as is relating something uncomfortably hot to be like hell, while the deepest part is actually frozen solid #divc0m #ch1206 #ch1002

I think knowing from lecture that Dante was pining after Beatrice gives another layer to purgatorio and paradiso that I wouldn't have seen otherwise #divc0m #ch1206 #ch1002

@kaitw16 I think it's interesting that where you go and what happens to you is tailored specifically to whatever you've done #divc0m #ch1206 #ch1002

[Alexandra Dash @AlexandraDash2]

@Ragnorak541 Maybe they're just all the sins Dante could think of without being too petty, like a circle specifically for people who are rude to servers. #divc0m #ch1206 #ch1002

If the minotaur has a lot of these little rage spouts he's not a very good guardian is he? #divc0m #ch1206 #ch1002

@Andrews_201 @Gilga_Matt @AncientHolly201 They were so worried about excommunication because that was an automatic ticket to hell #divc0m #ch1206 #ch1002

[Alexandra Dash @AlexandraDash2]

It's really interesting that Dante thinks he is not worthy of be shown hell, its kind of ironic. #divc0m #ch1206 #ch1002

@willcourtney13 @PriessNicolina I disagree, even though Marco Polo seems more credible, I think Mandeville was more entertaining. #mrcopolo #ch1206 #ch1002

[Alexandra Dash @AlexandraDash2]

I think it's interesting that almost every time Marco Polo mentions Kulblai Khan he calls him the Great Khan. Is that truly how Marco Polo feels or was that a customary title for rulers of the Mongol Dynasty? #mrcopolo #ch1206 #ch1002

@Trinity60028355 Perhaps it is less biased because it is less of a religious pilgrimage and more of a collection of observations (true or not) #mrcopolo #ch1206 #ch1002

[Alexandra Dash @AlexandraDash2]

I really liked the variety of details presented, it helps me immerse myself in the reading and I hadn't even noticed how late it got. That's a good sign! #mrcopolo #ch1206 #ch1002

[Alexandra Dash @AlexandraDash2]

It's really interesting that the experiences he writes about also happen to be popular myths we still see in movies and fantasy books today, like the amazons and well of youth. #mand3v1ll3 #ch1206 #ch1002

@sandravieyra4 Maybe he was just so excited about the clean water that he hyperbolized. This makes a lot of sense because if it was dirty they could die by drinking it so clean water would keep people alive much longer. #mand3v1ll3 #ch1206 #ch1002

It's funny on page 52 how he just stops and puts in the Greek alphabet, but some of the letters we think of today aren't on there. Were they added at a later time or did Mandeville just not get them? #mand3v1ll3 #ch1206 #ch1002
