Virgil Inscribes Circularity Into Linearity: PURGATORIO, Canto XIV, Lines 142 - 151
Manage episode 426970086 series 2798649
Having been accosted by two voices decrying the fate of the envious on the second terrace of Purgatory proper, Dante and Virgil begin to walk toward a stairway to the third terrace. As they do, Virgil, silent for quite a while, refocuses and reinterprets most of what we've read in PURGATORIO, Cantos XIII and XIV. He offers circularity in place of the linear descent so described by Sapía and Guido del Duca.
Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we see Virgil come into his own in Purgatory.
