We wrote two essays on the new website yesterday, one about the symbolism of the Eagle in Chapter 9, https://dantescomedy.com/thefirstdream, and one about the nature of Free Will – https://dantescomedy.com/thefreewill.
The third Terrace is full of deep philosophy and theology, and also some more political thoughts about Dante’s contemporary times and the corruption of the Church of Rome.
Which will be, a topic for a new essay today! ?
Overall thoughts of the Third Terrace is that it’s a more contained unit with a simpler theme of Wrath compared to those of Pride and Envy. But the thoughts and new learning about one’s freedom to choose and the consequences thereof, as one of the overall themes of the whole Comedy, are profound.
