He didn't put a specific place for proud in hell because, for him, ANY sin implied pride.

Oh, please, how many people bought that idiot "overly sarcastic" review? the Divine Comedy is written in first person just because to write "I did... I viewed" is more pregnant than writing "Charlie did... Charlie viewed". The "Dante" character of the Divine comedy is a worse version of the real life Dante. Is always scared (Dante was a war veteran) and much of the time he doesn't understand what's happening around him (when it was Dante the poet that wrote those allegories).

@kingofcrap4414 Believe it or not. Certainly not for burping the alphabet or pissing in flower pots. That must be more your thing.

"Elegia di Madonna Fiammetta" of Boccaccio precedes it.

@JustAFCasual I'm interested in literature and culture. Unfortunately it had been damaged by a review, maybe originally made for fun, that became viral and now is "truth" for a mass of people that only understood "Uh! The Divine Comedy! A self insert fan fiction!" and never fail to repeat it at any occasion. It was bullshit when Red said it, and it's bullshit now.

@lethaldream50 And, to you, someone that "wrote a self-insert bible fanfic where he is a Gary Stu." would have WROTE IT DOWN? "Wow! How cool I'm when I faint!" Where is the facepalm emoticon?

@lethaldream50 I've not searched for you and i'm not responsible for your scarce cognitive abilities. Get back to me when you've got a working brain.

"Inferno" is devoted to the political situation in Tuscany, "Purgatorio" to that of Italy, "Paradiso" to that of the Christianity.

@purpledrinkaholic He was talking of a tale where all the characters, or at least the main ones, are fictional. Even if the story was fictional, Callirhoe was likely a real person (since, even without knowing her name, we know that Hermocrates, a real Syracusan general, had a daughter who married Dionysius I of Syracuse). The first known novel where the main character is a complete invention of the author (not an historical or mythological character, or someone with the name of the author himself, like in Lucian of Samosata's "A True Story" or in Dante's Comedy) is probably Apuleius' "The Golden Ass".
