Why hello there good looking ...
So today I was speaking to my English lecturer about the different ways Macbeth could have been interpreted if religion played a huge part in it. Things such as Macbeth getting the prophecy from maybe an angel rather than the 'weird sisters' then how would that have changed the story. We spoke about it for a while , throwing ideas in and out of the pot.
However, I asked about Dante's Inferno only because I read Gabriel's Inferno and the whole book literally revolved around their fascination of Dante's love for Beatrice and all that. It boggled my mind but then I noticed the genius of it all. The author basically in some way retold the story with a modern twist.
Now Dante's Inferno is a classic and very popular and also very old!. Dante speaks about his journey through hell (because Inferno is Latin for 'Hell') and the seven stages to it. It is very interesting and I would recommend it if you love to read like me.
There's also a challenge for you. There are a lot of literal allusions (references to other texts) in everyday life. When someone says something or you read something and they make allusions, research it to get a better understanding of what they are saying. For me personally, it makes the reading experience a whole lot more exciting!
