It's All Plot: An Overview Of The Fifth Circle Of Wrath

In almost every episode of WALKING WITH DANTE, we take a passage from (so far) INFERNO and analyze it, talk through it, look at some of the interpretive knots. But in this episode, I'd like for you to hear (and I hope enjoy) the storytelling that's going on.To that end, in this episode I read all of the fifth circle of wrath in INFERNO, from Canto VII: Line 97 all the way to Canto IX: Line 106. I'd like you to hear it as a story, as a narrative, as rising and falling action, as all those things that we associate with good storytelling.Yes, we'll come back to all of it passage by passage. We'll go back to Canto VIII in the next episode and pick it up from there. But for now, sit back and take in the story. I think it might actually be some of the most important "work" you can do in COMEDY.
