(10 PTS) Dantes Inferno: Why does Dante Compare Paolo and Francesca from circle 2 to doves?
Why does he use this sympathetic comparison?
Answers:
Dante is way more sympathetic to damned souls when he is afraid he too may be guilty.
Francesca's lament about her sin individual blamed on the romance of Lancelot and Guinivere relates to Dante's courtly love poems, specifically La Vita Nuova, and how he may be culpable for other people sinning.
Dove's are symbols of purity, however, Francesca states in the text that "Galeotto (the author of the romance she and Paolo be reading) was the book..." Francesca and Paolo were marred by reading the book. In a sense, the author became the force for the sin. Dante questions how many "doves" have sinned by reading his poetry.
