Dante was such a petty little bitch.
I’ve always been interested in his story, but never got around to it. If you’re up for it coujd you give me an ELI5 or somewhere to get the basics? Your comment got me curious.
Oh I don’t have anything particularly interesting to add. It’s just that in Inferno he put a lot of people in hell who were real people he had beef with. That’s just petty.
Not just making himself the main character, chosen by God, to find his lost love in Heaven, but also to be like “oh and for sure all these people I don’t like totally end up in hell, too.”
He even compares himself to the poet Virgil by having Virgil lead him through hell. It’s definitely a power fantasy and the biggest “pick me” of all time with God being the being Dante wants to “pick him.”
The original Isekai edgelord.
