Guest Blogger - Brie B.
Hi everybody out there in Mrs. Arko’s blog! Today, we will be talking about Dante’s Inferno and my many theories and opinions of it. I have a theory about Dante’s Inferno, that more than likely is wrong, but here it goes. Well, in retrospect, I have many different theories about the Divine Comedy Dante’s Inferno, but if I jabbered on about all of the other theories I have I would waste a lot of your and my time. Also I’d probably go well over the four hundred word limit. My first theory is that the threes have to do with the whole 666 thing like a previous writer on this blog had mentioned before. It’s almost like a very amusing piece of flair from facebook.com which says 333 only half evil. (Sorry to any people who did not find that amusing) My second theory is also about the threes. In my mind I connected the threes with the circles of Hell. The reason for this is for the reason that there are nine circles of Hell; well, if you look at it from a mathematical point of view, you can divide the nine by three. Also nine is the third multiple of three. One of my opinions about Dante’s Inferno is that basically everybody is going to Hell. Everyone on Earth has to have committed at least one sin if not many. So it seems to me how could there even be anyone in heaven. They even make it sound like unborn children and children that died young enough not to be baptized automatically go to Hell, along with people that never got the chance to learn about God. Now I am unsure about you but in my eyes that is a really unfair thing to do. If one so innocent as a child that has not committed any sins can go to Hell than there is no hope for anyone to go to Heaven. That is one of my opinions to Dante’s Inferno. My apologies if I have insulted anyone (although I thought my blog was pretty tame) I just wanted to be sure that if I have offended anyone that you (the reader) will let me know what I could change, not only so I don’t insult anyone on my next blog but also so it can help my writing techniques. Thank you, and have a nice day.

Hi there Brie!
ReplyDeleteSo I don't think anyone would want to touch this post with a ten foot pole its so taboo and controversial (sorry for the spelling)...well anyone but me that is :) Anyway about the children issue you were speaking of before it's that whole sins of the father idea. Kind of like Okonkwo and his beginning of life because of his father's sins. A child before being baptized holds the sins of his/her parents in them which is why they are baptized so early in life. So like those children Okonkwo was held back in his early life because of his father's reputation and as Okonkwo worked hard to earn respect his father's "sins" we released from him. His working is like a childs baptism... only the baptism is sooooo much easier. Anyway thanks for listening.
If people and young children do go to hell for [some] of the reasons you explained above; I do not think it is fair. Mistakes that are not your fault, and in some cases no ones fault at all; you should not be punished for.Also for that 333 think, you completely reminded me of the movie's 23 and The Ninth Gate. [Johnny Depp ^.^] They are sooo good. I sujest The Ninth Gate over 23, but 23 touches more on this subject.
