THE LABYRINTH OF THE SPIRITS. CARLOS RUIZ ZAFON.

The characters of The Wind Saga are back to put and end to the story. Daniel Sempere, the protagonist, is all grown up now and demands to know the truth about his mother's death; alongside his loyal friend Fermin, they will embark on a terrifying adventure. Simultaneously, a new character to the story appears, a detective named Alicia; she is looking into the disappearance of Mauricio Valls, a well known politician from Barcelona. The novel connects stories from the past and present and makes the characters converge in a dark, thrilling adventure. A murder, a missing person, a mysterious character and family secrets fill the pages of the book with excitement and drama.

Explain the purposes behind Dante’s development and use of the contrapasso. Your answer should be at least 250 words.
kodGreya [7K]

What makes Dante's work so remarkable is his creation of the contrapasso - punishments in <em>Inferno</em> that ironically reflect or contrast the sin itself. We learn about this term in Canto XXVIII, when Bertran de Born states, "Thus is observed in me the counterpoise." In this, he is physcally separated by decapitation, and carries his talking head. He explains that his sin is a political one, by turning the Young King against his father.  

"Know that Bertram de Born am I, the same

Who gave to the Young King the evil comfort.

         I made the father and the son rebellious;

              Achitophel not more with Absalom

And David did with his accursed goadings.

         Because I parted persons so united,

              Parted do I now bear my brain, alas!"

(XXVIII, 142)


The purpose behind the contrapasso is to serve a divine karma to the souls of the Inferno. Instead of generalizing the punishment unfairly, each soul is tortured as a reflection of their chosen sin during their life. For instance, located in  the First Circle are unbaptized souls or virtuous pagans who are neither in Hell or out of it. While they have not sinned, they were unable to chose a side or accept Christ, which leaves them in a neutral area.

In contrast to this, Dante enters circles 2 - 9 and discovers more severe sins and their matching punishments. The outer ring of the Seventh Circle shows distinct differences between sinners that have commited violence. The punishment for violence is submersion in a river of boiling blood - symbolic for spilled blood - but highly violent tyrants are completely submerged, whereas those that commited less violence only sit ot stand in the boiling river.

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Dickinson uses dashes to fragment language and to cause unre-lated words to rush together. They help clarify by bringingwords together and enabling you to use context clues

2. The story’s name is “ Because I couldn't stop for death” but it says that she pauses at a house.

7. She uses the term soul because she excluded herself from society. In a way, the theme was busy, because in the poem “because I could not stop for death”, takes the time to do what she cannot and stops for her.

8. with respect to the carriage”, the carriage driven by death is not literally a carriage but rather a metaphor for life's journey that ends in death and of passing of life.
